Baguio Botanical Garden

A Family vacation in baguio city. Botanical Garden was the first attraction we visited. It was a only a half tour since the kids were too tired to walk. We'll do a full tour soon😁

The Baguio Botanical Garden, formerly known as Imelda Park, is a botanical garden in Baguio, Philippines, located on Leonard Wood Road between Wright Park and Teacher's Camp.

The garden goes by a few different names, including:

📍Botanical & Zoological Garden, the former name for the park when it was a zoo

📍Centennial Park, for being "the Summer Capital" of the Philippines for 100 years

📍Igorot Village, for the culture-inspired carvings, sculptures, and huts scattered around the park

📍Imelda Park, for the former first lady

History

The garden, which was previously a zoo, was renamed to the Imelda Park by Ferdinand Marcos for his wife in 1970.

The park closed for ten months in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, it underwent a renovation which made the park more aesthetic and added ramps.

Features

The park has art galleries provided by the Baguio Arts Guild, and sculptures displaying the culture of the Igorot people. A statue by Ben Hur Villanueva commemorating the people who built Baguio can also be found.

The park also contains a friendship garden featuring the countries United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Thailand, which contain elements of the country's culture, such as temples and statues. It also contains a sunflower farm and gardens spotlighting Dahlia, cactuses, marguerites, orchids, and succulents.

One of the garden's main attractions is a 150 m (490 ft) long tunnel which was dug out by Japanese Imperial Army soldiers during World War II for use as storage, treatment, and a bunker.
