my Secret Garden

Father Blanco’s botanical garden is located at the back of the San Agustin church’s museum inside Intramuros. I first knew of this from my brother’s gf’s multiply page. I got curious so I decided to check it out myself. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bring my camera with me so I ended up with these photos I got using my phone instead.

The last time I went there, half of the garden had been cleared in preparation for the restoration of one of the monastery’s wings. Though I was a bit disappointed on seeing excavations and a huge mound of earth in place of a walkway and half of the beautiful garden, I still am looking forward to how it’ll turn out.

I suggest that you visit the place after the completion of its renovation project to avoid any more disappointments.. :P

There’s an entrance fee to the museum so do prepare P75 if you ever decide to go here.
