Garden of the Sleeping Giant

Isabelle K

Once the private collection of the late actor Raymond Burr of Perry Mason fame, these gorgeous gardens spotlight more than 2,000 species of orchids, as well as a tranquil lily pond replete with tadpoles and frogs.

You can explore the gardens on covered boardwalks that wind through 20 hectares of lawns and native forest. Swings and hammocks invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and serenity of this verdant valley, and free guided tours share fascinating details on the history of the gardens.
