Creepers and Climbers Collection
In Nong Nooch Tropical gardens, the extensive use of tropical creepers and climbers as landscape subjects, is much appreciated by many of our visitors. They are displayed on upright pergola structures with green sign boards, that adorn the main avenue, bisecting the gardens’ main boulevards. They encompass some 380 or so species and varieties collected from around the world, and in time, will hopefully encompass some 500 plants, making it the largest collection and display of this group of plants, to be seen anywhere in the world. Loosely termed, any plant that has climbing tendencies and has particular attributes of attractive flowering habit, perfume, or foliage characters or having a particular ethno-botanical or medicinal usage, will guarantee it’s place somewhere in our display. It is hoped that through the gradual introduction and promotion of newer varieties more creepers will become accepted as a regular component of the average Thai garden. |
