Step into a fairytale land at Margaret Island's Japanese Garden! The pond's water lilies just got a boost, with new species adding to the magical atmosphere.

If you're after a romantic spot close to nature, the Japanese Garden on Margaret Island is a hidden gem. Relax in peaceful surroundings and take in the beauty of aquatic plants like water lilies, whose dwindling population has just been replenished. Even if you've visited before, it's worth another trip.

Water lilies, blooming in various colours, hopefully throughout the Indian Summer, have been replenished and joined by new species. Now you can spot mermaid flowers, yellow irises, Japanese horsetail, and creeping jenny. Plus, 15 koi fish have made the pond their new home
