Set on verdant, terraced grounds with over 100 magnolia trees and tropical plantings, the mountainside garden is masterfully curated: 7 sitting areas, 4 winding trails, 2 waterfalls, ponds and a collection of fountains amid by a vibrant tapestry of staghorn ferns, anthuriums, orchids, bromeliads and blooming angel trumpets.
