The park has its main building in Tudor architecture to give it an English feel. Weather was great that afternoon, cloudy and cool at 1200m above sea level. The place had different gardens that grew orchids, roses, herbs and flowers. There were not many visitors that day as the school holidays have yet to start and it was after all a working day.
We feasted our eyes on the myriad of vegetables and its colours. Yellow,red and green bell peppers which looked ordinary in supermarket displays somehow were more vibrant when viewed fresh on its branches. Bunches of fresh tomatoes were all over the floor, too heavy for the plant to carry upright.
Pink flowers grown in rows of hedge gave good depth for photography sessions. As usual, the children were most excited while their mum kept a watchful eye. By afternoon's end, my wife and I were exhausted, making us wonder why we go on holidays and find no rest.
After MARDI we visited the tea factory at BOH Tea Plantation, Sg Palas. Located in the next town of Brinchang, the drive took half an hour. BOH provides hourly guided tour for visitors to its factory.One can see how tea leaves become a heavenly brew. After the tour, you can relax by the tea house overlooking this verdant plantation. Neat rows of tea dot the whole valley and its greenery soothed our tired eyes, no computers or idiot boxes, just beautiful mother nature.
Don't forget to have afternoon tea here. Order some freshly baked scones with home made jam. Forget those from Tesco! You won't regret it. Cheers.
