Plant shopping at Sungai Buloh (3/3/2010)

On the 3rd of March, Pn. Yeo, Farhanah and Soo Sun went to Sungai Buloh to do some plant shopping, as Sungai Buloh has a reputation for selling plants and gardening tools at considerably lower prices than other shops. As soon as school ended, the school's driver drove them to Sungai Buloh in the Avanza they rented from the school.

Not surprisingly as it was their first time there, they got lost around the Sungai Buloh area for around half an hour before finding their way and discovering that the area in question was actually located near the Subang Airport. They were greeted by the sight of around 70 shops selling garden pebbles, numerous species of plants, and even gardening tools, though they immediately made a beeline for the nurseries in order to purchase some herbs for our herbs garden.

There, they were pleasantly surprised to note that the herbs were sold at RM 2 instead of RM 5, which is the price most nurseries in the PJ area offer. They bought various herbs such as the morning glory, senduduk, bunga tahi ayam, bunga melur, limau purut, limau kasturi, pokok kari, misai kucing, mulberi and pokok inai before making their way to a shop selling garden pebbles to buy pebbles which they initially intended to use in making a walkway for our Herbs Garden. Unfortunately, they couldn't do so for fear of damaging the car's suspension, and made their way back to the school at about 5.30 pm, getting themselves caught in a rush-hour traffic jam in the process. By the time they arrived at the school, it was about 6pm and they all hoped that the plants would live and grow healthily.
