Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Our fellow forumer monkeycup (Eric) has set up a nepenthes garden up on Penang Hill. According to Eric, he has established Low land and Intermediate neps mainly accompanied by their CP cousins such as Droseras and Sarracenias. I disclaim that these are the only CPs established there because I am sure there are lots more. It is a garden!

Eric therefore invites you guys, forumers of Petpitchers, to grace his garden. We could visit the place on our own or as a group. I strongly suggest that we go as a group to show our support for him and have fellowship with each other or even to see who is actually hiding behind the username.

My tot is January is a little unsettling for people with school starting and Chinese New Year around the corner. Is February 2012 good for people. Say a weekend. Saturday or Sunday be fine.

From the Upper Station, Eric can provide transport (on his pickup) for those who wish to be driven while those with green initiative or health enthusiast can walk. Not too far I hope.

Who will be going:

1. Bactrus

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Edward, Eric's place is in Penang Hill, Penang. Like I mentioned above, the long weekend is will be synonymous with bad traffic in Penang.

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

erm... may i know who is the owner of the land? it sounds like eric is establishing a public garden on penang hill... wow. am i right?

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

It is February, 11th ??? :( I need to attend my cousin wedding dinner. :(

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

He has already successfully done that about a year ago, I think. It's open to public. Mostly nepenthes and some other CPs.

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

I Think Eric is renting the piece of land. Nepenthes Garden is an attraction open to the paying public. We are free to enter courtesy of Eric's invitation, which is very nice of him. There is a charge to the general public.

Casey, won't take more than 4 hours. Up morning then down for lunch.

Please indicate interest otherwise we'll do it other time.

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Waaa N. hamata.... Hope it can survive then dream come true ~ THx for the pics :1thumbup:

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Wow! It's fantastic!

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

From what Eric told me,so far the hamata is still growing to the climate condt at the hill...because there are a significant temp drop at night...

If i'm not mistaken,the stains is from fungicide because i over heard Eric told to one of his worker not to spray it to often

I know.....its a nep heaven.... :2thumbup:

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Thanks for sharing the pictures zulteh279. I've got to visit Eric's Monkey Cup park when I am in Penang.

Well done Eric.

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Hohohoho.....:blink::wub: It's awesome, Eric! I just couldn't imagine how much work & effort you've already put in before it came to reality. :1thumbup: Well done!
When would you come open a branch in KL? :laugh:

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

It`s lovely... if / when i go, i will bring a pair of scissors to trim off all the dead pitchers & clean up the plants for him. LOL. + a small shovel to dig up & throw away all the weeds growing there.

Note : my own CP pots also quite messy heheh. but this is for the public viewing so i will volunteer to clean up so that it looks nice & can be more attractive as a hobby.

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Hi guyz, is the offer for a visit still open for this year?

I'm going to visit the garden this CNY. Will be going there from 10th till 14th Feb 2013. Anybody interested to join me? I'm really hoping to get some CPs from Eric *biggrin2*

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

Gideon,

Best you prepare for a walk. About 700m give and take from station.

BA

Re: Visit to Nepenthes Garden in Penang Hill
 

No prob. For CPs, anything is worth the walk! :1thumbup:
