As the name implies, The blooms garden is a tourist destination that will present you with beautiful gardens. Yup, there's not only one typical garden, but there are many!
Before it became a popular tourist destination, this floral garden was originally administered by the neighbourhood as a place to cultivate fruits and vegetables. Many people were drawn to this area because of its beauty, later on, this area was eventually developed into a tourist attraction known as The Blooms Garden.
The Blooms Garden Bali was established with the expectation of presenting the same beauty as a flower garden in Dubai called the Dubai Miracle Garden.
The Blooms Garden, which covers an area of roughly 4.5 hectares across the Bedugul plateau, is planted with a variety of flowers native to Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. These flowers aren't just grouped and planted like that; they are set up in a way that fits the theme of the garden where they are planted. There are seven different garden decoration ideas at The Blooms Garden itself, including:
- Welcome Garden, this is the garden you will find near the entrance area. There are numerous flowers with different colours that are ready to colour up your visitation or even photo gallery
- Peacock's Tail Garden, a park in the shape of a peacock, which is a symbol of luck. This garden has many collections of pretty flowers, including salvia, angelonia, and many more.
- Oval Garden, this garden is oval-shaped and stands as a symbol of a warm reception. The flowers in this garden are a collection of flowers which has the same meaning and purpose as the garden; daisy, the symbol of innocence, begonia the symbol of love, and many more.
- The Goddess of Lake Garden, is the mascot garden which has a great Goddess Danu statue in the middle of the garden. The goddess Danu stands for the fertility of all plants and is also the personification of the Ulun Danu Temple.
- Garden Of Love, In this area, you're meant to feel love and warmth. This is due to the subtleties brought out by the red flowers planted here. Find kasna flower, senggani flower, daisy, and zinnia here.
- Dutch Garden, you can recognize it's the Dutch Garden when you find two Netherlands iconic pinwheels surrounded by flowers.
- Topiary Barong Garden, here you can find a huge statue of the Iconic Barong Bali. You can also find flowers like Amarilis, shasta daisy, begonia glabra, and many more.
Each garden has its own theme and beauty, such as The Goddess of Lake Garden, which features a large statue of the goddess Danu in the middle. Not only that, each garden also means something different. So, which one is the best garden? You decide it yourself!
Don't forget to bring your best camera because you don't want to leave this tourist destination without capturing a single portrait. While we talk about this, I can say The Blooms Garden is the ultimate destination if you're a photo hunter who's looking for some magnificent self-portraits. How not so?
