for anyone wanting a day out who are interested in horticulture this is the place to go,probably the best landscaped garden on negros island. I think the lady who owns it is from Iloilo amd started her chicken joy business there and spread down this way. She opened the gardens to the public which are around 3-4 hectares of exotic plants,trees and local designed cottages dotted around the area. To get there head north out of Dumaguete until you see sea forest resort in San Jose,next door is the chicken joy resto,you will need to pay in there. I think p80 pp,the guard will then open the gate on the opposite side of the road so you can drive up the hill and park. Well worth a visit in my opinion.
