Peradeniya Botanical Gardens: Snapshot

Can I be a princess and run crazily in a garden? Please? Pretty please? The landscaped Peradeniya Gardens will bring out the child in you; rather, will bring out the spoilt, royal child in you. You will find a flower that will match the fanciest colour that your mind concocts. Learning, lazing, picnicking, outdoor games – its the place for all this and a lot more.
