Sirao Flower Garden

Overview

Sirao Garden started as ordinary farmland where a local family grew celosia — the crested, brightly colored flower that dominates the site — as a cash crop rather than a tourist draw. Passing traffic on the Transcentral Highway began stopping to photograph the flower fields, and the family formalized that into a paid garden: landscaped rows, windmill replicas evoking a European theme, and a run of photo installations that earned the site its “Little Amsterdam” nickname. The commercial success of the model has since been copied at other flower farms elsewhere in the Philippines.

Entrance runs about PHP 100 for adults, with a discount to roughly PHP 80 for seniors and PWDs. A neighboring, separately run Sirao Pictorial Garden keeps longer hours than the original site.

Location

Barangay Sirao, Cebu City, along the Cebu Transcentral Highway roughly 17–20 km from the city center.

Getting There

By private vehicle, taxi or habal-habal from Cebu City center, climbing the Transcentral Highway; commonly paired with Tops Lookout, Temple of Leah and the Taoist Temple on a single Busay-uplands circuit, though Sirao sits further along the highway than those three.

Practical Info

• Entrance around PHP 100 (adult), PHP 80 (senior/PWD).
• Bloom is seasonal — celosia peaks in the dry months and thins outside that window.
• The garden is a working agritourism business, not a public park; hours and pricing are set by the operating family.

What to Expect

Dense rows of red, orange and yellow celosia against cool highland air, with staged photo props (giant hands, windmills) built specifically for visitor photography rather than incidental to a farm visit.
