Los+Jardines+Botanicos


 * Los [|Jardines] Botanicos were first established in the 1940's but didn't officially open until 1980. Los Jardines Botanicos have many different garden displays with many different plants. The Lucile Halsell Conservatory which is a section of the garden as of 1988 mainly contains alpine plants, aquatic plants, cacti, succulents, carnivorous plants, epiphytes, ferns, aroids, fruits, palms, and cycads. The Gardens make up of 33 square acres, containing a special garden specifically designed for the blind. There is a garden type for everyone. The garden, including the conservatory, create a wide variety of flora, from the Roses in the well known Rose Garden, to a dedicated area in the conservatory for desert plants. The climate allows the gardens to grow and prosper. The varied wide life and flowers that naturally grow here create a naturally boosted Eco-system which in turn draws in more tourists. The garden area holds many special events, which have included Gardens by Moonlight, and Shakespeare in the park. This area is plays a huge part in research, and allows people to connect to nature. Although Los Jardines is large, it is manned by a non-profit organization. Even though the multiple gardens are beautiful, there is still more to be done to alert the public, and make Los Jardines an even bigger tourist attraction.**
