This beautiful garden is located in the heart of Makati which is the financial center of Metro Manila. Although it is surrounded by retail shops and restaurants, the garden itself is a tranquil escape from the hustle & bustle of this busy area. Lush plants and flowers ...take time to feed the ducks !

If there was one word I'd use to describe anything the Ayala family does, it'd be 'precision.' They've got the detail of this 'Philippines CBD Central' area correct. Footpaths (locally called 'sidewalks') are properly paved with easy disabled access and often are wide, lighting is good and shopping centres like Greenbelt (while far from cheapest in Philippines) are logically laid out. It's good urban design, epitomised by how Greenbelt has a wonderful Catholic Chapel and pleasant greenery with koi fish at its core.

This was a great place to go to get gifts to bring home! Returning to Manila after a 41 year absence, my sisters, friends and I headed here for some shopping and were greeted with helpful clerks and fantastic choices with great prices. We visited several times during our 2 week stay and all of our purchases were packed well for our flights back home.
