Baguio Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Baguio, Philippines
Description
Baguio Botanical Garden is a botanical garden in Baguio, Philippines, that presents a variety of plants including dahlias, cacti, orchids and succulents along winding paths. A dedicated section grows sunflowers and draws many visitors during bloom season.
History
The garden was established during American colonial rule and originally housed a zoo. In 1970 it was converted into Imelda Park before taking its current form as a botanical garden.

Traditional huts scattered through the grounds reflect building styles from different indigenous mountain communities and invite visitors to observe forms and materials up close. These replicas offer a sense of how people in the region lived in the highlands.
