Visited in September 2007. Fantastic collection of bamboos, palms, orchids, memorial garden, spice garden, rare double coconut and much more. Very well maintained, and well worth a visit. Large colony of fruit bats. more

A must-see for anyone interested in botany, gardening, or landscaping. Even if you just want a nice place for a picnic. We saw it in the rain and were enchanted! Amazing trees and vines, well maintained and don't miss the fruit bat colony. This was a Sri Lanka favorite. more
