It also has many individual conservatories, a pond garden and Japanese hills. Its rock garden is simply marvelous and it also has a fragrant garden for the vision impaired. There's a great bonsia tree collection and a children's exhibition and many other events. One of my favorite spots to visit will in the BBG is the Shakespeare garden. With it's English cottage that has over 80 various plants mentioned in his plays and poems you will be occupied for hours reading the labels which has references to his quotes. If you visit the Japanese part, you will enjoy the carp as they swim and frolic in the pond garden and the sound of the beautiful waterfall. This part also has a beautiful wooden bridge and a small Shinto temple. That part is perfect for sight seeing.
