Nort of the Bedugul the road climbs a hill and descends again to an intersection. conspicuously marked with a large, phallic sculpture of a sweet corn cob. The smaller road leads west up to the entrance of the Kebun Raya Bali, the botanical garden. The gardens were established in 1959 as a branch of the national botanical gardens at Bogor, near Jakarta. They cover more than 120 hectares on the lower slopes of Gunung Pohon, and have an extensive collection of trees and some 500 species of orchid. It's a lovely place, cool, shady, and scenic. Usually there are very few visitors, but groups of Balinese like to come for picnics, especially on Sunday when the atmosphere is more festive.

Some plants are labelled with their botanical names, but apart from that there is almost nothing in the way of visitor information. Some visitors have been annoyed here by stray dogs carry a stick to detter them.
