Join Cicada Tree Eco Place for this special kids' event. Bukit Brown Cemetery is also a green oasis with all sorts of plants, from plants typically grown in cemeteries such as frangipani (the Pontianak flower!), to ornamental house plants, fruit trees, local herbs and spices, medicinal plants and wildflowers. We will gently walk on level paths to see what we can find growing on the waysides, and on graves, to sniff and taste.
Many edibles thrive here, such as tapioca, nangka, mani-chye and durian. Wild herbs and medicinals found here include curry, salam, Cupids’ Shaving Brush, dragon’s tail and noni. We get to know the poisonous plants too. Our bonus will be encounters with the wild critters who live there, so bring your binoculars. Please note that this walk is geared towards an adult audience but kids of participants may tag along to play in the dirt.
- Bring poncho/raincoat/umbrella, fully filled refillable water bottle, hat and herbal mosquito repellent.
