The Staghorn fern is growing in a full coconut which has now burst. I had kept it in the rain recently, and forgot to take it inside into my 'cold room'. The raindrops must have acted like lenses, and my poor staghorn got scorched.
A botanical garden is basically a well cared for and well-designed (sometimes not even planned out) garden that is considered a public place for the whole community to enjoy. Mostly you will also be able to see cards with the scientific or botanical names of plants, flowers and trees.

Other Uses of Coconut
The coconut palm is in every garden in this part of the world. The South Indians use the coconut extensively in their cuisine. Gardeners are familiar with the cocopeat, which is used in stead of sphagnum moss. I have used the coconut shell as a container to grow this Little John Tassel Fern, Hupertzia.
