The only national botanic garden in the island's wet zone — built for the rainforest flora the older gardens can't hold.

A botanical garden opened in 2014 in the Seethawaka valley near Avissawella, the newest of Sri Lanka's national botanic gardens. Collections focus on the wet-zone flora of the surrounding rainforest hills.
