About this place

What to expect

Step into the Succulent Garden and explore a dazzling world of plants shaped by some of the Earth's driest places. Wander through vibrant zones featuring Africa's colourful Aloes and spiny Euphorbias, then journey to the Americas to see striking Agaves, towering Joshua trees and giant Furcraeas—once called "century plants" as they were so slow to bloom. You'll also spot true cacti here, including iconic Golden Barrel cactus. Bathed in warming sun, the garden glows with bold colours and sculptural forms. You're invited to slow down, soak up the beauty and marvel at how these plants thrive in extreme conditions.
