Last May, we paid a visit to Tropical Spice Garden. It's been a while since we've been here, we've forgotten just how refreshing it is to be in a very big garden, full of spices, plants and flowers. We arrived an hour and a half before closing, it was a bit of a rush to explore the place. Next time, we'll come in much earlier. Avail of their in-house insect repellent, made of lemongrass oil, to ward away mosquitoes and other small insects.
