Get out of the cold and remind your snow-addled brain just what greenery looks like. You don’t have to travel to warmer parts of the world to experience this (though it certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea). Here are some fantastic international gardens currently in bloom, whether indoors or out.
The Eden Project, located in Cornwall, England, is situated in a former quarry, and features large geodesic domes. One of the primary attractions is the world’s largest controlled jungle; the Eden Project is also the world’s largest indoor garden overall.
Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome
The multidome gardens in Tokyo feature more than 1,000 different plant species and breathtaking water features. You can find a little bit of everything here, from plants from the far reaches of the earth to those from the nearby Bonin Islands.
South of the equator in Rio de Janeiro lies a 100-acre estate. Once belonging to a Brazilian landscape designer, who was said to paint with plants, it now features more than 3,500 plant species.
While you can definitely experience all the beautiful flora and fauna of Costa Rica in the wild, you can see it all in a controlled environment and in one spot when you visit La Paz Waterfall Gardens. The tropical plants, waterfalls, butterflies and flowers — there’s even a butterfly observatory that’s the largest in the world. The Hummingbird Gardens also attracts two dozen different hummingbird species. Plus, climb the waterfalls with trails and viewing platforms for a closer look.
This botanic garden in Jamaica was founded in 1862, making it one of the oldest public botanic gardens in the western hemisphere. It got its start thanks in part to the Kew Gardens of London. There are plenty of both native plants and imported species, such as ornamental varieties.
