Fodor's Review:

Inspired by the flora mentioned in the playwright's work, this somewhat hidden garden (between Belvedere Castle and the Swedish Cottage) is well worth a stop. Under the dedicated care of the gardener, something is almost always blooming on the terraced hillside of lush beds. The fantastic spring bulb display beginning in March and June's peak bloom of antique roses are particularly stunning times to visit. The curving paths are furnished with handsome rustic benches, making this park-designated quiet zone a superb spot for a good read or contemplative thought.
