Friends who garden together, stay together

Interview group of friends for story on relationships

When Ellen Kay and her friends get together, they speak a different language: horticulture. Kay met Mimi Moo, Kathy Chong, Sakunthala Devi, Suzanne Koo and Alvina Lim on Plants and Gardens (Malaysia), a Facebook group of people who love gardening and their friendship blossomed immediately. Out of the thousands of members in the group, the six found kindred spirits in one another and, after a few months of communicating online, they met face-to-face mid last year.

Now, they are a tight-knit group that meets regularly and they call themselves the “Fabulous Six”.
