Kublai Art Garden: A Garden Like No Other in Kapatagan

Most of us are attracted to beautifully-designed gardens filled with colorful flowers and a wide variety of plants. There are plenty of them here in the city being home to the famous waling-waling and other rare orchid varieties.

But there's also one garden in Kapatagan (Digos, Davao del Sur) that showcases not flowers or plants but art works. And they're not just the small size or medium size ones but giant-size art creations, specifically sculptures. 

I'm referring to the Kublai Art Garden of well-known Mindanaoan artist Kublai Millan. It's the first of its kind  in Mindanao and perhaps, the only one in the Philippines. Sharing here the snapshots I took of his awesome artworks during our recent trip to Kapatagan.
