Generously donated on behalf of the Arkham family, the Botanical Gardens are a place for both visitors of the island and inmates alike to have supervised visits, to get a feel for nature outside of the dreary and horrid life in a cell. Native and exotic plants are housed here, and cared for by Gotham's best and brightest botanists, as well as inmates who have been deemed sane enough to be a part time volunteer. Located on the east block of Arkham Island, it is perhaps the nicest feature around, aside from Arkham Manor itself, which lies just east of the gardens.
