Cactus garden
Plants that are not native to the country they are grown in are Exotics. For a relatively wet and tropical wet and tropical country as Thailand growing cactus was exotic. There was no public gardens with landscaped outdoor cactus displays. Mrs.Nong Nooch had always had a love for the cactus and succulents. She created a flat garden surrounded by narrow concrete path that created a square, each square between the walkways were raised and a diverse collection of cactus free planted in the open. The excellent design has been preserved although now it the home of the Varity garden. Although some kind of cactus need seasonally very dry condition others can sustain rather humid conditions. It was a trial and erroe and almost 10 years later. Mr.Kampon had gained enough knowledge about the cactus that thrivs in thehumid conditions that Thailand has. He created the new cactus with a three square plastic roofs over beautifully raised beds of natural large rocks. A well drained sandy mix after careful instructions and poured into each bed. A large number of cactus was transplanted the new area but somthing eye-catching was missing. Mr.Kampon went of th Califonia wre cactus can grown in the open freeland to perfection. He returned with over 50 large Golden barrel cactus. Originally from Maxico, these huge gaints with their dark green bodies are surrounded by light yellow stout spines. The whole garden was surrounded by large grantic boulders to create a rock-garden. New plnats have been add during the years and the garden now includes a wide range of dry loving plnats |
