I'm not really a big Botanical Gardens type of guy but i must admit, Aburi was spectacular. This place carries a rich history as it was founded by the British in 1890 and later occupied by western missionaries. These days, the Botanical Gardens is the main attraction of the Aburi district just north of Accra maintaining its beauty over each passing decade. There must have been over a thousand different plants and trees which were organized in the most incredible fashion. And aside Aburi Botanical Gardens being conveniently located on top of a mountain, the township of Aburi was an absolute spectacle. The street markets were flooded with giant mangoes, cassava roots, maize, yams, plantains, and all other sort of fresh fruits and vegetables. There were children running happily on the street as well as herds of goats, chickens and wild dogs wandering around. The place seemed like a dream to me being so different from anything that I'm used to in Canada. Check out the crew in the garden of sheer beauty!
