Sim Name: The Botanical Guardens |
For today’s review, I chose the Second Life Botanical Gardens. The Botanical Gardens was actually one of the first places I had ever visited in Second Life, at that time in late 2005 it was located in the sim Federal on mainland with a little over 7000 sq. m of land. It was a beautiful and relaxing spot, created, owned and managed by Isablan Neva (who also happened to be my Second Life Mentor!). Since then, it has moved to its own sim Botanical Gardens and now spans over 60,000 sq. m of land in a collaboration effort by many artists.
| The Welcome Area, beautiful! |
The first thing you will notice upon entering this sim, is its beauty. In a collaboration effort with over 12 nature artists, this location is top notch in design. Some of the designers include;
-
Khamon Fate (trees & plants)
Higbeen Protagonist (trees & plants)
Luna Bliss (waterfall, trees & plants)
Lilith Heart (trees & plants)
Transparent Banshee (glass greenhouse, waterfall, trees)
Laukosarvas Svarog (fountains, plants)
Fallingwater Cellardoor (plants)
Rose Karuna (trees & plants)
Arwen Eusebio (trees)
Smuk Zaftig (Treeline Gardens & Landscaping)
Menubar Memoria (wind chimes & storm system)
| An amazing waterfall, a sight to behold. |
While you can fly through Botanical Gardens, we highly suggest that you walk. And bring a loved one with you too, this garden sim is full of coves and romantic spots to bring a date for a great night out. There is little to review for a location such as this when it is full of such vibrant spots and beautiful architecture. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. So here are a few more!
| A small maze-like grass area! |
| Beautiful Abstract waterfalls |
Botanical Gardens is still a work in progress, and although as seen above it is a visual masterpiece, some sections of the sim are still unfinished. The welcome notecard claims that this sim has been in the works for months, and is still a work in progress. The estimated time of completion is June and I can not wait to see the completed project!

If this isn’t enough to get you to check out the Botanical Gardens, than nothing will be! I highly recommend this location for any couples or for the adventurer who needs to see it all in Second Life. I’ll continue to float along here near the waterfall, I don’t think i’m ever going to leave!

because I visited and met someone there who could only speak russian…so when I think/read of Botanical Gardens I have to smile and think about that weird conversation I didn’t have
