Used to love to eat my lunch there, feed the turtles and the Koi. Stroll and de-stress amongst trickling streams, fragrant blooms and unique flora. Also loved the mini concerts and various art displays over the years.Can't wait for the gardens to open up again! I have truly missed them while they were undergoing renovations. More

I have visited Devonian Gardens a few years ago. I found this place very relaxing and also very interesting to find gardens into a shopping wall. It's also a great place to hang out during lunch hours. The Devonian Gardens is currently under renovation and I'm sure that will an outstanding garden. Just like it! More
