Secret Garden @1 Utama

Upper Roof (above Food Republic, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

4.0
I've always loved plants so when I was in PJ for the weekend, I wasted no time to pay the garden a visit. Access to the garden was a lil tricky to find (hence the name, Secret Garden). Had to ask the help desk for directions.The garden itself was very well curated. Plants are chosen based on the suitability to the area and lighting conditions. Flowering plants bloomed profusely and leafy plants grew to immense sizes and lush conditions. They even have the famous giant lily pads, Victoria Amazonica: my first time seeing it so up close.It can get quite warm and humid so do dress appropriately if you plan to spend a long time in there. The area itself is not extremely big, but it is well planned and filled with many plants that complement each other well in the conditions. - Kristine Tang
