A Trip to a Botanical Garden

I went to the Peradeniya Botanical Garden last week with my family. I was accompanied by my parents, my only sister and grandma. We left home by six o’ clock and reached there at ten o’ clock. Now that it was a long weekend, a lot of people were there.
It was a wonderful morning and it was not sunny as well. As soon as we got off the car, my sister and I ran to the botanical garden. My parents and grandma followed us. Two of us were surprised to see the flowers bloomed. Of course, we were thrilled by their beauty. Different types of flowers were there. We took a couple of photographs.
We walked along the path where there were huge palm trees. They were gigantic. Father showed us one of the biggest bamboo trees of Sri Lanka. All the trees were tall and huge. Both local and foreign young people and adults were resting under those trees. We walked around the garden.
We were surprised to see roses and orchids. They were of different colours. Some of them could be found only in our country. None of the flower planets was to be sold out. We were there for more than five hours. All of a sudden it started raining heavily. Thus, we rushed out of the garden. We had our lunch just after coming out of the garden. My father bought us ice cream and fresh pears.
We left Peradeniya by four o’ clock. Of course, it was a wonderful and amazing picnic. We enjoyed it a lot.
