Perdana Botanical Garden
Jalan Kebun Bunga, Tasik Perdana, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Tropical botanical garden with a scenic lake, rare fruit trees, and deep colonial roots.
This guide to Perdana Botanical Garden traces the story behind Sydney Lake, named in 1888 by colonial Resident Frank Swettenham for his wife, Constance Sydney Holmes. It follows their unraveling marriage, his affairs, her departure for England after 1894, and the 1904 divorce petition a judge threw out as false. You're standing on land Swettenham once walked among the trees he helped plant, beside water that still carries her name.
