Particularly abundant in plants are those from South Africa and Australia. The Water-wise Garden, Herb Garden, English Rose Garden, and Garden of the Senses are some of its gardens. There are many different kinds of plants in the garden, some of which are exotic imports from places like Australia, the Mediterranean, and southern Africa. In addition to speciality gardens, there is a small lake, a garden for the senses, a kids' garden, a Japanese garden, and others.
