Flower gardens in Cebu came into the limelight when the Sirao Flower Farm opened its doors to the public. Located in the mountain barangays of Cebu, flowers thrive in these locations due to its cool climate. The popularity of flower gardens is expected to increase following the opening of the first flower terraces in the Philippines, the Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden.
