Sampaguita Gardens Resort in New Washington, Kalibo Aklan

To ask what else can I see in and around Kalibo since I was about to go heading to Antique that time. I was gladly told of many things, and Sampaguita Gardens was one of them. Sampaguita Gardens was originally owned by an American named Samuel Butcher, the creator of Precious Moments artworks. Mr. Butcher, who owns Precious Moments Park in Carthage, Missouri, put his ideas into action in December 2001 and in June 2003, the resort began commercial operations. There are gardens everywhere. And they’re all well-maintained. Figurines and statues dot the gardens. Two life-sized horses made of bronze by the entrance to what they call the oriental garden are a fantastic photo-op.
