DISCOVERING VIGAN'S HIDDEN GARDEN

For tourists visiting in Vigan and want to have some break from the centuries old houses museums then Hidden Garden is the place to be. 
This beautiful garden is  really hidden in Barangay Bulala. Though few minutes drive  away from the city center it is easy to find , thanks to all the signage posted along the way.

 
Because of the many tall trees and bamboo tress all over the place the sun's heat will not be a problem especially when visiting at the middle of the day.  For tired feet, there are garden table and chair  sets strategically placed all around  the garden.
 
 
 
 
 
 Or better yet try their sumptuous meals at the Lilong and Lilang Restaurant. They serve typical Ilocano foods like pinakbet, warek warek and empanada then gulp it down with fresh fruit shake.
 
 
 
Going deeper into the garden , you will find the bonsai garden.   I remember asking one of the staffs if how old are those bonsais and she replied, "it's not for sale". Most of the plants though are for sale.
 
 
 
 
Aside from the many varieties of  plants, there are also few birds  and animals in their cages. A souvenir shop is right at the entrance.
