I went to Botanic Gardens with my class,1D,and my form teacher,Ms Lily Cleaopatra.I went there to gather information for our brochure that was part of our service learning.We looked forward to this trip because of its big variety of flowers and plants.
On the day we went,it was very hot..we were not exactly very enthusiastic about going there under the scorching sun but we still went there in any case...
We had 7 stations to go to starting from the seventh.At the seven station-Beverage Crops,we learnt that most drinks were made from many different plants.Just that coffee and tea are the world's favourite drinks.

Secondly we went to station 1,Fruit Trees.We learnt about different kinds of fruit trees that are grown for their edible fruits. EG.are mango,durian,jackfruits,ranbutan and mangosteen.Not all of them are sweet.One interesting fact is that some of them are even eaten as vegetables!Some are used to add flavours to the cooking.

The next station was on Herbs and Spices as the name suggest,there are many different kinds of spices.Most are used to add flavour or aroma to the foods.It is adviced to use it fresh than dried.Spices are mostly dried non-leafy plant parts.

Station 4 had a name which is a little hard to pronounce-bougainvillea.Though its long and complicated name it is actually a common garden plant easily found in the tropics and subtropics.The pricely scrambling shrub can attract attention through its spectacular displays despite its familarity.


Station 5 is a station that all pandas like to eat-Bamboos.also known as giant grasses)Though the word
Giantappears,it stems are actually light,strong and extremely flexible.Sounds like grass and you may think what can a grass do right?You wrong for apparently it is very usable.Some species can be eaten.Some of them blooms at a particular interval or decades in which the adult dies shortly after.

Station 6 is unlike the rest as in that the rest is dry land while this is full of water-The Eco Lake.It is filled with water plants and 2 swans.The back scenery is covered with nicely shaped trees..making it look surreal.Though sounding as if it is very nice and clean it is actually not.It is murky at certain areas.Looks disgusting though.But though dirty it has little litter as far as i can see..rather clean.



This experience is really an eye-opener for me and my group.We all felt that we had a
fruitful trip-seeing all the different types of species of plants and fruits(despite of all the flies and scorching weather) and we indeed learn alot.Of course i cannot name very single thing i see so if you're free why not make your way down to Botanic Gardens to see the flauna and fiona!
