Sabah Agriculture Park (Local Name:<\/strong> Taman Pertanian Sabah<\/em>), in Tenom district of Sabah interior, is one of the largest garden parks in Malaysia<\/strong>. This attraction is so underrated because people think that it’s only about farming. In fact, Sabah Agriculture Park has a wide range of exotic flowers and fruits origin from the tropical regions of Asia, Central & South America, and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Sabah Agriculture Park is a 500-acre mega garden with over 20 mini gardens that have special collections categorized by plant families or characteristics. Casual visitors would be dazzled by thousands of flowers, trees, fruits, and vegetables in variety of forms and colors, and enjoy a stroll at the beautiful lakeside and model gardens. If you are an avid botanist, gardener or farmer, you would wish that you discovered this plant kingdom earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sabah Agriculture Park sprawls over an area of 6 square kilometres, which is too big for visitor to cover everything in a day. The park is like a buffet, you can spend from a few hours to a week, depend on how much you want to see. My favourites are Crops Museum for sampling of tropical fruits, Native Orchid Centre for rare Borneo orchids, and Model Gardens for photo-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Take a free ride on a tram-train to visit orchid and models gardens<\/strong> near the end of the park (save a lot of legwork). The tram starts around 9am and operates hourly (depend on the number of visitors).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
