An Excursion to Botanic Bogor Garden
All right, everybody, I’ll
tell you about this great place. On Friday 16 March we went to Bogor Botanic Garden.
We went there
by bus and we arrived at that famous garden at 10 o’clock.
Arriving at the garden, we were divided into
two groups. Group A followed Mrs. Nina and Group B followed Mr.
Ahmad. I was in
group A. Well, first we went to odd tropical plants and Mrs. Nina read us some of the
information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that, we went to a little spot near the
Raffles cemetery and had morning tea. Next, we did some sketching and then we
met group
B at the information center to have our lunch.
Soon, it was time for us to go to the
orchid section while Group B did some research on flowers. A lady led us to the orchid section.
Then, she explained about
many kinds of Orchids.
Next, we had a look at the Indonesian orchid. Wow, we saw many kinds of Indonesian
orchids. They were all beautiful. Later, we took a look at the American,
European and Asian orchid’s section. It was interesting. Soon after we had finished our
observations, we went back outside and met group B. Then, we got on the bus and returned to
school. We really enjoyed the trip and to Bogor Botanic Garden.
