Ancient Forest

Okay, this is not an ancient forest but rather has cycads which genetically are very old plants (its evolutionary tree is pretty small). So you can argue that these are plants eaten by dinosaurs. Cycads are also quite rare. The 'nut' of some cycads grows from the center of the plant and is also known as a dinosaur egg. BTW - One of the leading cycad researchers donated part of his collection to this garden. This is all explained on the information signs in the garden.

Very very nice. And finally spotted a pair of downy woodpeckers. 1st 2 I've seen at that forest since I've been walking the trails

Genial

Fue magnífico pero no pude subir más porque soy discapacitada.

I can’t really tell how ancient this forest is. Maybe this it the original plants before this Garden. They do have 5 Heritage oaks which is more than 500 years old spreading around the garden. I didn’t explore this forest much. Just simply pass by

This is part of a private park you have to pay to enter.
