Gardens to visit in Hong Kong?

March 3-12 will be the Hong Kong Flower Show in Victoria Park.

Otherwise, you can visit the Conservatory in Hong Kong Park on Hong Kong Island. The Park is a nice walk anyway and the Consevatory has some interesting specimens, like durian and cacao.

If you want to get out of the city and travel up to the New Territories, there is Kadoorie Farms and Botanical Gardens. Be warned though to bring comfortable/hiking shoes, water, and dress appropriately. 1475 foot elevation difference between the entrance to Kadoorie Farms and the top of the gardens. But there are some lovely gardens to check out.

An update to the dates above:

The Humid House at the Conservatory in Hong Kong Park will be closed through the end of March. That is where the durian and cacao trees are located.

But the dry house and the show room are still open and there are some interesting specimens to check out.
