Today we decided to go to Sg.Buloh to look for more potted plants and orchid to redo our garden, there are many nursery in this part of the city, north of Kuala Lumpur... we took the highway and reached the nursery half an hours later. This place was once a leper colony and surrounded by rubber plantation, but now the leper hospital has been turn into an ordinary hospital, since there are no more people suffering with leprosy, once a dreaded disease, now beside this old hospital a new hospital complex is being build to served the population of this part of the city. Once completed this new hospital would be able to provide additional health care service to the general public in and around Kuala Lumpur.... All services in government hospital, except for a small registration fee, are free for the general public.. with that Malaysian can now boast of having one of the best healthcare service in this part of the world.......coming back to the subject of the nursery, here one could find all varieties of flowers and orchid at a reasonable price. On weekend this place would be congested with city folks browsing around the many nursery looking for potted flowers and other gardening accessories, like clay pots and garden compost.... at time this place are so crowded that it is difficult to find parking space to parks one's car, and the whole area would turn into a sort of a fair like atmosphere, with people mingling around making their purchases. It is indeed fascinating to see city folks on a buying spree of plants that they love, taking it home to do landscaping of their houses..... with Malaysian becoming more affluence, home gardening has became a part of a Malaysian home culture now, Since we have summer whether all throughout the years, growing flowers are a whole years affair unlike in the west where planting of flowers are only done in spring and summer only. The only problem here is that the rain would come off and on and this would be at time unhealthy to the plants, so Malaysian have manage to overcome this by arranging plants in shaded area around their houses...with that gardening has become a part of the Malaysian culture....a beautiful home have always been the dreams of every Malaysian...and it is indeed a dream come true for more and more Malaysian....as the country prosper.....Today Malaysian flowers farmers not only supply the home market of its products to beautify Malaysian home but also export it to other parts of the world and it would not be a surprise to see Malaysian flowers and orchid in display in the lobby of major five star hotel in cities all over the world....thus enriching the life of people all over the world...a delightful contribution by Malaysian to make this world a better place to live and enjoy life.......
