Healing Garden

Most cultures from around the world have a well developed system of plant-based traditional medicine. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), herbal treatments are the most popular form of traditional medicine. Many of the prescription drugs used in modern science-based medicine are still based on chemicals extracted from plant products.

The Healing Garden showcases over 400 varieties of plants used medicinally. It is laid out thematically relating to component parts of the body such as head, respiratory and reproductive systems. Spread over 2.5 hectares, this garden is designed as a tranquil retreat with medicinal plants traditionally used in Southeast Asia as the main focus.

Immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of the Healing Garden, and discover the power of plants to heal and enhance our quality of life.
