Prehistoric Plants – Near The Land Pavilion
At this garden, guests can learn about plants that have existed since the age of the dinosaurs.
Prehistoric Plants
Millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed vast coniferous forests filled with ancient trees, colossal cycads, ferns, and mosses.
Over millennia of geological transformation, these prehistoric plants became the coal and oil we use as fuel today.
In addition to ancient plants, the garden is full of steel dinosaur flats and rocks embedded with fossils.
Plants include Coontie, Delphinium, Holly Fern, and Venus Fly Trap.

Blue and brown pots are full of spice plants. These include parsley, mint, and black pepper. In the center is a Flame Tree, native to Australia.
