A lovely garden close to the heart of the business core.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The garden has many sights to see. You will be able to find plants that are native to our region, to plants found closer to the equator (a greenhouse is located in the garden for that.) The greenhouse, however, opens to the public from April 1 to October 1.
In the times I been there, I have not seen anyone working at the garden, except a day or two from the City of Langley staff and one woman who I was not able to have a chance to meet. There are barely anyone there, so going there can give you a feeling of privacy and peace.
My favourite part of the garden would be the trails at the back of the garden. It is basically a piece of our native ecosystem, with a stream, that's left and preserved from being destroyed from outside factors. It is small, but refreshing and close to the city, great for anyone who wants to take in our precious forest.
Public washrooms are available, and they are kept well cleaned and maintained.
Picnic tables and benches are available, making a great place to just sit and observe your surroundings
You can also book for wedding purposes, as their website says.
Free parking are widely available and accessible, and street parking also works if the parking lot is full.
There are no direct route via transit (closest transit stops are on 200 street, Grade Crescent, and on 203 street)
There was an incident where a fire cracker exploded nearby, not in the park but probably on a residential or street property, with the sound so loud I jumped a little. I suggest to avoid coming to the park a few weeks after Halloween if you don't like loud, booming sounds.

I would definitely suggest anyone to come and visit this adorable garden. Do you love seeing native plants? Love to see tropical plants? Looking for a place for a gathering? Or just want to get away from the busy business life of the city? The Sendall Botanical Gardens is a great place to consider.
I will definitely be going back for some peace of mind.
