Gardens In Nong Nooch Tropical Garden

The French Garden is one of the oldest Gardens in Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. Where the French Gardens stand now stood Nong Nooch’s sunflower fields two decades ago. Mr. Kampon, the owner of Nong Nooch, decided to build the new garden in the likes of the Gardens he’d seen at the Versailles Palace in France. He started building the French garden and finished it in approximately two years. But in 1998, the French garden became accessible to the general public. Following that, he added many architectural accents, including a pagoda, decorative plants, several trees, and an English red telephone. The area of the French garden I is expanded by the French garden II. The French Garden II also included several boulders to stop a valley from collapsing and used particular trees to adorn them in geometric forms.

The European Garden, quite expectantly, follows the Classical European reverence towards shape, structure and symmetry. These well laid out gardens are covered in hedges and bushes that are trimmed to resemble geometric structures: cones, spheres, squares and more. The Gardens are beautifully decorated with golden sculptures that stand out amidst the bright green of the garden bushes.

The Stonehenge Gardens interrupt the greenery at Nong Nooch tropical Gardens with their unique styling. During his ventures in Prachinburi, Mr. Kampon Tanascha, the Director of Nong Nooch, came across some rare stones which he carried back to the Gardens in Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. The square forms of the stones were reminiscent of Stonehenge in England. He decided to place these stones in a specific garden of their own, and decorate them with numerous flowering plants. In 2000, construction on this garden was finished, and the Stonehenge Garden came to life.

One of the most stunning areas of the Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens is the Cactus Garden. The cacti are kept in an all-glass greenhouse with meandering, well-paved paths making its way through the sheltered glass house. More than 300 different cactus species, collected from all over the world, may be found in the Gardens. A few little dinosaur models are also on show in the Cactus Garden, which enhances the exhibit's visual appeal.

The variegated Plant collection is one of Nong Nooch vastest, with plants sourced from around the world. In simple terms, variegated plants are plants which display multiple colors on their leaves owing to a cell mutation. The Variegated Plants Collection at Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens brings together 67 plant species from around the world. Although the leafy promenades are open to and often sought out by visitors at the garden, the Collection is primarily used as an education and research centers by the botanists and researchers at the Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens.

The Ant Tower is a brilliant display of the artistic rigor of Nong Nooch’s team. The Tower facade, spreading across seven levels, is literally covered by life sized models of ants in yellow and orange. More than 5,000 ant armies are clinging to the tall walls of the entire structure. Seven levels make up the ant tower, and the second floor is where visitors may also stop for a drink or a coffee.

Butterfly Hill is so named not because of the winged insects that dwell here, but the ornamental gardens that are shaped just like them. It is a beautiful garden with many vibrant flora organized in the shape of butterfly wings, as well as sculptures of different animals, including lions, pigs, orangutans, tigers, donkeys, and mountain goats.

The Bromeliads are spiny plants stemming from America. Presently, Nongnooch Pattaya Garden includes about 350 different varieties of bromeliads. At the Bromeliad Display Garden, visitors may take pleasure in viewing a variety of hybrid bromeliads, including Guzmania, Vriesea, and Neoregelia. The director of Nongnooch Garden, Mr. Kampon Tansacha, also imported and raised Tillandsia plants there. The Orchid Gardens, on the other hand, presents a rare and stunning display of all of the orchid species from around the world in one room.

The Nong Nooch Flower Display is an elaborate and eloquent display of the floral wealth that the Gardens house. The Garden is home to a variety of seasonally flowering plants, along with small cactus gardens. A lovely lake sits at the very center, with a suspension bridge ferrying travelers from one side to the other. The beauty of the garden is further enhanced by the animal sculptures that rest within some distance to each other- masterfully crafted lemurs, kangaroos, zebras and tigers peer out at tourists from the shrubs, and can be fun to spot and identify.
