Iloilo City’s Garden of Love: Unwind and Relax

Iloilo City’s Garden of Love is a project initiated by the Iloilo City’s Beautification Program. This is located along the roads of Barangay Nabitasan, La Paz, Iloilo. If you are jogging, walking, or exploring the Iloilo Esplanade from the ones near Gaisano City or near in front of Iloilo Hall of Justice, you will reach the Iloilo City’s Garden of Love on the other side.

Right now, it may not be as grand as any other flower garden, the one in Sirao or Amsterdam, Ilonggos can take pride in flexing this humble flower garden to the world. With the support of the Iloilo City Government and its constituents, who knows one day it will grow as big as other famous names?

It started as plain flower beds with roughly a few species of flora. Until such time it has added more and more attractions such as photo opportunities – from the big hearts to photo walls such as sunflowers, Dinagyang warrior, and Paraw Regatta – where visitors can take photos.

Wholesome Treat for the Family

The Garden of Love is open from 6:00 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. But to fully appreciate the best view of the garden, please come before sundown.

There is something to enjoy for the whole family. The kids can freely interact with the animal figures, Koi pond, and photo walls with the supervision of the adult.
