Eden At Janda Baik

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
- Dorothy Frances Gurney
Stepping into our secret garden takes you into a tropical wonderland laced with heliconias, calatheas, gingers, and musaceas to name but a few. You'll discover that the beauty and glory of the garden lies not only on the array of heliconias, which occupied the prominent part of the landscape but also on the many other finer plants, and creatures that populate the grounds. You'll be captivated by the several species of water lilies that bloom on the surfaces of the ponds, and the varieties of fishes in them.



As one soaks in the beauty and splendour of the place, one can't help in a setting such as this, to be carried away into a fairyland, and you'd just wonder where they (the fairies and the elves) are. Strolling on the walk paths paved with concrete slabs imprinted with heliconia motif, and passing by cut tree trunks assembled into tables and benches is simply too inviting for the passer by not to stop, sit and be amazed by the surroundings.


And doing just that is blissful, and soon brings forth the appreciations due to the magnificent Creator who created, and to His servants who have been given the imaginations and creativity to craft such fine work of garden artistry.

We invite you to experience this secret garden of ours located amidst panoramic hills, in a heavenly part of the earth called Janda Baik.
