Happy 130th, Penang Botanic Gardens: Gardeners share their best memories


In a tangle: Judging from its sprawling root system, this Rhodesian teak tree must be very old. The Penang Botanic Gardens are full of old trees such as this one, and other plants.

Gardeners and visitors recall fond memories of the Penang Botanic Gardens, which celebrates its 130th anniversary this year.

A cool morning breeze and golden sunshine streaming through dark green foliage welcome visitors to the Penang Botanic Gardens. While joggers and visitors admire the scenic surroundings, many do not realise that Mother Nature had a little help to look this good.
