Topiary Garden (Gateway Mall, Quezon City)

Topiary gardens showcase clipped foliage and twigs of trees, shrubs, and subshrubs to create well-defined shapes of animals, geometric patterns, and other objects.

The Topiary Garden in the 5th level of Gateway Mall is an oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of the concrete jungle called Quezon City.

The open-air area has small pockets where animal-shaped greenery are found. There are elephants, camels, peacocks, butterflies, and giraffes, to name a few. Aside from the shrubs, there are benches where visitors can sit and relax and food stalls to feed those who are thirsty and hungry.
