To be honest, one of my favorite natural places in Baku, in the Botanical Garden, is a green, lovely space where people can relax and feel nature without having to leave the city. I tried to visit it about once a week, particularly when the weather is pleasant. I usually prefer going there with my family because it gives us an opportunity to spend quality time together away from our daily routines. What I am particularly fond of about this place is its peaceful atmosphere. Baku can be quite noisy and busy, especially in crowded areas, so I usually appreciate having somewhere I can escape the husband’s bustle of the city life. Being surrounded by a greenery helps me unwind and recharge my batteries. Another reason I enjoy with the things the garden is that it’s an ideal place for a family picnic. We can take some food with us, sit outdoors and simply enjoy each other’s company. I think these little moments are important because they allow us to relax and create lovely memories together. All in all, I will describe the botanical garden as a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city. Whenever I spend time there I feel refreshed and more relaxed which is why it’s my favorite place to visit.
