6 Enchanting Secret Gardens Around the World

"Seemingly plucked from the pages of a storybook, The Lost Gardens of Heligan include 200 acres of excitement for any plant and wildlife lover. Although not a secret anymore, the gardens were once completely hidden and forgotten after World War I. It wasn't until the 1990s that a team brought the oasis back to life, making it the largest restored garden in Europe. Thanks to those efforts, visitors can now roam around this paradise of bamboo tunnels, majestic tree ferns, and ancient rhododendrons. There's even a jungle that contains ponds, rhubarbs, banana trees, and lines of palms." - Travel + Leisure Editors
