“When you enter the park, a sign reads “A botanic garden offers breathing space and a place of natural beauty where one may keep in touch with growing things and retire from the noise and dust and confusion of the city streets.” Had a wonderful time here the other week, feels like you are in a different world. Went to get Ethiopian after.”
