Site History:
Made 1805 by Lord Tytus Bishop. Tytys Bishop worked with Biologists who worked in researching species of flora in Adonia. The Gardens were used not only as an attraction but a database of flora discovered and it still serves that purpose with it's famous Seed Vault and it also has a Conservation project. In 1923, the Gardens were expanded. Current buildings are the Temperate House with the Orion Conservatory in an extension at the top, Cedar House which is the most famous building in the Gardens and holds all the Tropical flora, like a giant greenhouse, Clydesdale House who was a famous artist from Posillipo, the building is named after him and his famous painting of water lilly, since this house holds all the flora needing water, including water lilly, and the Feng Shi Pagoda as a gift from Hanchoin Isle for saving them.
