The Bahá'í Gardens, Haifa, Israel


In Haifa, Israel we can find some wonderful gardens (http://www.ganbahai.org.il/en/haifa/).
The architect of the gardens is Fariborz Sahba, who started design of the gardens in the 1987.
For the public they were opened in 2001.

The gardens are covering about 200 000m2 and they are extended up the side of Mount Carmel.

There are quite lot of species and you can find a different plants from there - although the topiary is not as strong as I thought.
But there are lot of interesting succulents.

If you visiting Haifa - visit the gardens as well - they are worth it.

Few problems I noticed - some gates are closed - so - you need to go round to some part of gardens and some parts of gardens are opened only in a certain time (check the homepage).
Also - there are some limits for the visitors - clothing and behavior should be polite, you can not eat in the gardens, as well smoking and shewing gum is prohibited.
As well as you can not take your pets with you in the gardens.

But the enter is free and gardens are interesting - enjoy your visit!
You can also watch my short video about the gardens:
