KOBE NUNOBIKI HERB GARDENS - THE GARDENS AND MUSEUM

 

   18th JULY 2024    ~ Once we came out of the gondola, we were greeted by this European design building with colourful flowers adorning its compound. There were already many people finding the best spots to take photos.

Then there was this rose garden, with brightly coloured blooming beautifully. We could also smell the sweet and wonderful fragrance of these flowers.

The next attraction of this place was its Herbs Museum. Generally, one could learn about the natural fragrances that could be produced by all the herbs and plants.

The herbs and plants were used in the making of fragrance, soaps and air freshener.

At one section of the museum, visitors could customize and make their own perfume.

On the first floor of the building, there was this "Fairy Tale Forest": a big hall with a forest created with sound. light, aroma and plants. It was like from the movie "Avatar".

Then we went down to the second station and walked around a bit. We could not stay for too long as it got hotter in the afternoon.

The best time to visit Nunobiki Herbs Garden would be in spring as there would be more flowers blooming, I think. If you go there during autumn, you would ne able to see the red foliage covering the hills. And the temperature would not be as high as it was in summer.

It was a great way to spemd the time in Kobe, getting immersed with nature and something I loved doing as I am a gardener at home now.

OBSERVING AND APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY OF THE FLORA IN JIC SING NURSERY

  27th FEBRUARY 2023   ~ There was the myriad of colours from one end to the other. Both the leaves and flowers contributed to the natural beauty of confined space in the nursery. This could be the simple joy I love to experience when I go on holidays.

Everything planted grew up healthily in Jic Sing Nursery in Kundasang - the combination of fertile soil and low temperature just worked well. I should start planning of the garden I want to have when I retire soon.

STOPPING BY AT JIC SENG NURSERY IN KUNDASANG

  27th FEBRUARY 2023   ~ It was still raining when we left Desa Dairy Farm. We had nowhere else to go in that kind of weather but my travel companion decided to stop for a short while at Jic Seng Nursery by the roadside. I instantaneously agreed as I myself was excited to see the plants and flowers there.

I felt as if I was at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The place was quite big and all the plants were stationed under the roof.

I had to repeatedly remind myself I would not be able to bring back these plants home so I should never buy anything.

My friend, on the other hand, managed to get a few plants to bring back home to Labuan.

I will need to retire first and then only I could work and grow healthier plants at home. Soon, very soon....
