Mehan Garden, Urban park in Ermita, Philippines.
The 2.8-hectare Mehan Garden features numerous pathways through landscaped grounds containing various shrubs, trees, and flowerbeds in central Manila.
Established in 1858 as Jardín Botánico by Spanish colonial authorities, the garden transformed into a public park in 1913, named after John C. Mehan.
Archaeological excavations at Mehan Garden have uncovered artifacts dating back to 900 AD, leading to its designation as an archaeological preserve.
The garden sits near the LRT Central Terminal station, between Taft Avenue and Manila City Hall, offering multiple entry points for visitors.
The garden holds the distinction of being Asia's first botanical garden and houses a memorial wall dedicated to Martial Law victims.
