All kinds of Orchids
We were so excited to view with our own eyes how strawberry and lettuces (Red coral, Green coral, Butterhead, Romaine) being cultivated here.
Pots of strawberry
You may pause and try to learn how hydroponic system works if you love farming or gardening. A wonderful experience indeed! Parsley was also planted on the ground underneath the rows of hanging strawberry pots.

The farm is situated by the slope of a hill. Nevertheless, the path is made easy and we did not feel the gradient at all.

After a short walk, we arrived at the cafetaria that served local fresh salads, tea, scones and all kind of strawberry products including juice, milkshake, muffin, yogurt and tarts. Self-picking strawberry is also availble here with some fees.
Cafetaria and gift shop
This garden is suitable for children and elderly as well. They are equipped with good facilities such as car park near the cafetaria, clean washrooms, gift shop and small playing centres for children below 10 years old.

One of the attractions lately is the giant pumpkin. With a diameter almost an arm length of an Asian adult, the giant pumpkin is caged near the strawberry farm. Photographing is allowed but we are advised to to touch it.

As we walked down, I couldn't resist but to get three packet of hydroponically grown lettuces. They only cost me RM5 and made such a great salad!
