Herbs, spice and all things nice
AMIDST the lush greenery of a hilly terrain, more than 500 visitors took time out to bask in nature's glory in conjunction with Tropical Spice Garden's (TSG) Spice Out Festival recently.
Organised by TSG to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the culture- and nature-themed event attracted visitors of all ages.
Some were trekking up the hilly paths of TSG's secondary forest while others were enjoying the garden's over 500 species of tropical flora and fauna.
Traditional games, clowns, cooking demonstrations, plein air art by Urban Sketchers and artist Marni, bird-watching activities by Malaysian Nature Society, mini guided tours and face painting were among the activities.
There were tea and coconut kiosks as well as stalls selling TSG merchandise, herbs and sandwiches.
TSG managing director Katherine Khoo said the festival was a great success.
"Spice Out was an incredible way to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was so good to see so many kids and families enjoying the many activities we had organised," said Khoo.
"It was also nice to see so many visitors appreciating the spices at the garden.
"We plan to introduce more activities for children as well as guided tours for Visit Malaysia 2014," she said.
