Baguio Botanical Garden Attractions

The Baguio Botanical Garden is one of the green parks of the City of Pines. The main entrance to the Baguio Botanical Garden is along Leonard Wood Road, between Teachers Camp and Wright Park. Once you see a sculpture made of cement and stone, congratulations! You are in the right place.

There are numerous jeepney lines that pass Leonard Wood Road, all coming from the Central Business District. Upon entering the garden, you can get your picture taken with real live Cordillerans who will be more than willing to pose for photos for a small tip. The Baguio Botanical Garden is also home to the Baguio Arts Guild, connect with your inner creative and give the art gallery a visit. Appreciate the different relics from Botanical Garden’s Igorot Village days with large statues depicting different Cordillera tribesmen and symbols.

You will be welcomed by a bas relief sculpture made of cement and stone depicting the different rituals of the Cordillera tribes, with real live Igorots who will be more than willing to pose for photos for a small fee.

Recently renamed Centennial Park a valuable addition to Botanical Garden
is a beautiful bronze sculpture by famous Filipino artist Ben-Hur Villanueva depicting the original builders of the city, composed of Cordillera natives, Americans, Chinese and Japanese working together. This work of art is located right past the gate so it will be hard to to miss!
