Another past or present query...

Hi All,

Hope you can help with this one.

1) I went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday. The trees were very tall.
2) I went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday The trees in the Botanical Gardens were very tall.
3) I went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday. The trees in the Botanical Gardens are very tall.

Are they all correct? If so, how does their meaning change with each sentence?

Thanks. It's a bit of a head-scratcher which probably has a simple explanation.
