I take photos there regularly, especially during weekends and holidays. I visit this place for photography at least once a month. Each season brings a different look to the garden, providing endless opportunities for capturing stunning views.

I usually photograph the flowers, trees, and scenic pathways in the garden. The subjects I capture there include a variety of blooming flowers, towering trees, and peaceful ponds.

This place is ideal for photography because of its captivating moments and ever-changing scenery. Each visit feels like a new experience, with different flowers in bloom and varying weather conditions adding to the garden’s charm. The serene environment of the garden also provides a peaceful backdrop for my photography, making it a truly enjoyable place to visit and capture on camera.
