Walking trails weave among palm groves, rose beds and succulents at these expansive botanic gardens, 4km southwest of central Zichron Ya’akov. The gardens are a living memorial to Baron Edmond de Rothschild, who is credited with helping to establish agricultural communities during Israel’s early years; he is buried in the crypt here.
Some paths are wheelchair-accessible; find routes on the website. Picnics aren’t allowed, but there’s an on-site cafe and restaurant.
