Within her 1,600sq ft (148sq m) garden located in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, she cultivates a diverse array of local and exotic herbs, vegetables, tropical fruits and edible flowers. Her garden boasts an extensive selection, including seven varieties of mint, three types of sweet potato, and 40 different flowers, with 19 of them edible.
