The Garden was initiated in 1978 by the National Institute of Science and Technology, University of the Philippines and the National Research Council of the Philippines. Its principal aim is to conserve Philippine plants. The garden is a part of the U. P. Land Grant. The garden is situated in a beautiful valley. A secondary forest covers the area which is very peaceful. The garden is quite cool as it is at an elevation of about 300 meters. The average rainfall is about 3,500 mm a year. There are plenty of wild orchids, ferns and trees as well as wildlife of all kinds in the valley including flying lizards, chameleons, monkeys and birds. The Lalawinan River cuts through the garden and also near this river is a natural swimming pool.
