Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden and Restaurant

About this audio guide

This guide to the Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden above Cebu City follows Yuri Barrameda, a local businessman who owned two hectares of steep highland slope and decided to turn it into something lasting for his three children, Carmela, Cheska, and Moses. You'll hear how he brought in farmers from the highland village of Malubog to carve the hillside into terraces using an old mortarless stone technique. It traces the years of work that followed, and what the finished garden was meant to say to the children it was built for.
