Sampaguita Gardens

(post backlog)

Yup, that's the tagline of Sampaguita Gardens in New Washington, Aklan, Philippines.



Sampaguita Gardens Resort, Inc. is the brainchild of Samuel John Butcher, an American artist and creator of Precious Moments artworks that promote messages of loving, caring and sharing.

As a boutique resort, Sampaguita Gardens' world class amenities, facilities and services has scored many firsts, most notable of which is Jojo's Christmas Cottage, the first all-year round Christmas store in the Philippines.

The Samuel J. Butcher Mansion is one of the most popular and most photographed portion of the resort, with its vast antique collection and stunning pieces of bric-a-bracs and other Orientalia such as a rare collection of Ningyo (Japanese dolls) showcasing the hierarchy of Japanese society.

Sampaguita Gardens has become famous for celebrating Christmas all year round. It is currently being marketed as more than just a destination but an experience.

I have fulfilled my childhood fantasy of having that Christmas feeling everyday!

And in the middle of January, it really was quite an experience!
