Bali palm gardens?

[NorCalWill]

I'll be in Bali in a few weeks, and was wondering if anyone in Bali or who is familiar with Bali can recommend botanical places to visit, particularly with palms.

I've been to the bird park, and normally stay at the Hyatt in Sanur, both of which have some great palm specimens. Are there other gardens to visit?

Hi Will,

I have been to Bali a few times now, the Botanical Gardens have a small selection of palms. I put a few pics up last time I was over, here is the thread:

The botanical garden is in Bedugal. Lovely drive to get there from Sanur. Look forward to the photos.

kebun raya bedugul is well worth the visit. definitely see it.while you are in that area also see pura ulun danau braatan( lake temple).

there is a relatively new botanical garden in ubud,called "ubud botanic garden" which is quite enjoyable. i recommend it.

bali zoo is not bad,although the palm collection is not quite as extensive as the bali bird park.

selamat jalan! (have a great trip!)
