Tel Aviv Botanical Garden of Eden

This little hide away, by the Tel Aviv university is a true gem for visitors. Hidden away in this magical garden you will find an exhibition of native flora of Israel and neighboring countries, side by side with plants from around the globe. At first when you walk in to the gardens, you'll mistakenly think that it's quite small, but as you start wandering around this quite expansive location, you realize it's much larger than you first imagined.
