THE SEeconD Boranic GARDEN (Now a Park) 
“In 1858 a Botanical Garden was established in Manila within 
the zone of fortifications of the Walled City. Its area was but 
about 5 hectares. The first Director was Francisco Ramos, the 
second, Zoilo Espejo, the third Inocencio Madrigal, none of them 
of any eminence as botanists. In 1873 Domingo Vidal was given 
charge of the gardens in addition to his duties as Director of the 
Forestry Bureau. On his death in 1878, he was succeeded in 
both positions by Sebastian Vidal, who retained the position until 
his death in 1889. 
“The garden, as such, never amounted to very much due to the 
restricted area and unsuitable location. After Vidal’s death no 
attempt was made to develop it, but it was maintained as an In- 
stitution until the American occupation in 1898. Since 1898... 
maintained as a public park.” (Letter from E. D. Merrill.)
