In its current state, the "new" Devonian gardens are pretty sterile. I'm sure that as they age the foliage will become more lush, but for now seems to be geared towards open space for events (actually quite useful) rather than a botanical garden. E.g. The lack of name plates on any plants prevents me from waxing Linnaen. Also, bring back the turtles! Koi just aren't adorable. Visit if you happen to be in the mall, but if you make a trip specifically to see this, you'll be disappointed.
