Saw
a
video
on
you
tube
and
decided
to
check
it
out.
To
be
honest,
I
wasn't
expecting
such
a
grand
botanical
garden.
This
is
one
of
a
kind
that
I
have
seen
in
Trivandrum.
Beautifully
maintained,
it's
an
ideal
place
to
spend
not
just
shopping
for
plants
and
pots,
but
also
just
to
relax.
Situated
on
a
lane
on
the
Balaramapuram-
Vizhinjam
road,
the
way
to
the
botanical
garden
is
very
narrow.
Drive
carefully
through
the
narrow
road
full
of
winding
paths,
and
a.
canal,
and
you
reach
the
gates
of
the
botanical
garden.
The
drive
from
the
gate
to
the
garden
felt
surreal.
There
is
a
parking
lot
and
from
there,
you
can
go
looking
for
the
plants,
pots,
manure
and
saplings
you
want.
They
also
have
a
stone
park
for
all
the
stones,
pebbles,
marbles
you
want
for
your
aquarium,
garden
or
yard.
The
staff
there
are
very
friendly
and
they'll
fetch
you
a
wheel
barrow
to
keep
all
the
plants/saplings,
pots
you've
chosen.
There's
a
lot
to
see
and
walk.
They
have
a
very
good
selection
of
saplings
and
even
bonsai.
They
also
have
a
section
for
water
plants,
with
lotuses,
water
lilies,
and
many
other
varieties
of
water
plants.
The
staff
packed
the
water
plants
very
well
for
transport.
As
for
the
price,
it's
quite
cheap
and
affordable.
They
have
a
vast
selection
of
pots
too,
from
very
big
ones
for
trees
to
wall
hanging
and
aquaponics
types
available
at
a
discounted
price.
They
have
wide
varieties
of
lawn
grasses,
bamboo
and
indoor
plants
too.
They
also
have
a
cafeteria
in
case
you
want
to
have
some
refreshments.
I
personally
think
the
ideal
time
to
visit
the
place
is
from
10
am
to
5
pm.
Carry
a
hat
or
an
umbrella
to
protect
from
the
sun
or
rain
and
comfortable
shoes
for
walking.
We
will
be
returning
soon
for
some
more
plants
and
pots.
The
only
negative
is
the
narrow,
winding
and
scary
road
leading
to
the
botanical
garden.
Everything
else
is
perfect.
