Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center
Forest Trail Region
Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center offers visitors the chance to explore and learn about local ecosystems and gardens without leaving the city center. The formal botanical gardens contain more than 300 plant species in five formal "rooms” as well as four sculpture “rooms.” Adjacent to the gardens is a bird blind which allows visitors to observe nesting birds in Shangri La’s heronry. Hands-on exhibits can be found indoors in the nature center, along with a café and gift store.
