Excursion to Wijaya de Art of The Garden & Mekarsari (part 1)

A few days ago Margriet and Dorothea, a community forum for florists of Bandung Diocese, went for an excursion together. And the first place we visited was 'Wijaya' de art of the Garden in Citeureup, Bogor. There, we saw rows of green plants as long as the eye could see, only a little bit of flowers such as orchids were at the front, but mostly were foliage. There were some foliage which usually we use to decorate St. Peter Cathedral, such as philodendron, dracaena, green cordyline, anthurium and florida beauty. We also saw caladium, sanseviera, bromelia, aglaonema with lot of variant in color were in nursery there.

But the star of everything there are magnosia and filansia. They look like grass in appearance but softer and cuter. The seller said that they're easy to grow, just hang them to the air, or attach them on the dead tree, they will grow well. These plant also don't need any care and any fertilizer since they live in the air. Ho... ho... sounds good for busy people in the city, right guys?


The gate of Wijaya de art of the garden. Pay attention to the letters of 'wijaya'. They're actually a living plant.


Rows of green young plants are neatly in the nursery.


Here it is, the star among the green plant here, Magnosia and Filansia


When magnosia and filansia attached vertically on galvanised wire, it can be used just like wall for outdoor design. Beautiful!! 


Magnosia or filansia attached to the dead tree. And since it's quite pricey, imagine if you have one, it's alike a ‘money’ tree for you, he...


After selecting the desired green plants, some participants went to the cashier while some others rested on the bench, waiting to board the bus heading to the second destination, Mekarsari.

Well, don't miss our next post ya....
