Founded during the Great Depression in 1931, this botanical garden is considered one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. There are plenty of things you can see on 190 acres. The most attractive are definitely huge “living sculptures”. These amazing sculptures are created by artists from around the world. They use wire and wood frames to make different human or animal shapes. The plants that are placed inside the frames are pruned and trimmed as they grow. The result are these magnificent gardens.
