Excursion to Wijaya de Art of The Garden & Mekarsari (part 2)

On our last post, we have mention about Wijaya de Art of the garden and now we are going to continue with the second destination, which is Mekarsari.

Mekarsari, the Amazing Tourism Park that is located at Cileungsi District Km 03, Bogor regency, is not only a center of the agricultural biodiversity of tropical fruit but a laboratory, a cultivation center and a research center of corpse flower as well. It has a collection of tropical fruit plants that are endangered like 'kepel, duwet, menteng and matoa ....etc'.

And as a family tourism park, Mekarsari has many kinds of interesting packages that able to attract visitors, one of them is Green Land Tour package which 'Margriet-Dorothea' followed some time ago. By following the tour package, the visitors have the opportunity to see the orchards like salacca, starfruit, durian or they could feel the sensation of picking melons from the tree at the greenhouse site of melon.
Sound interesting, ya? Ok, here's a glance overview.
