This year's theme was "A Walk In the Park". The theme was chosen because of the need by the growing populace for public nature parks within a congested city as breathing space and place to spend time for relaxation.

Thanks for visiting the site, Melanie. Although cheaper to start a fruit farm from seeds, there are drawbacks to using seeds. It takes a long time before you can harvest fruits if you use seeds. Also you cannot predict the quality of the fruits you can get from plants started from seeds. Trees purchased from trusted nurseries are usually of high quality varieties, and the growers will also advice you on what trees will grow best in your particular location and climate.

Free seminars on tree farming are sometimes included in the lecture series conducted during garden shows by horticulture societies.

hi. i am a garden enthusiast since 1995. i just want to raise everyone's attention regarding a traveller's tree (ravenala madagascariensis) which i bought around 2003. i was not aware when i bought it but the tree appears to be dwarf and has subtle variegation. until today, after producing two 'pups', it is still under three feet tall. the variegation is not very pronounced unlike other variegated plants. i actually thought at first that it was some kind of plant disease. i am considering selling the two 'pups'. interested parties may contact me at 0928-662-5924.
