Student visit to Pha Tad Ke Botanical Garden

Students treasure hunting

The Pha Tad Ke Botanical Gardens had an open day and we took some students across the Mekong River and downstream a little to these wonderful gardens that were opened about 2 years ago.

You can see a diverse range of Lao flora and how people use plants in everyday life. They have a wonder medicinal garden where you can discover what conditions which plants are used for. It is very interesting.

A very hot day in the gardens especially if you have to wear a robe.

They put on a number of activities including a hunt and making items from bamboo. I tried my hand at making a bird, with a little help.

It is privately funded and they are very supportive of education. They produced a great little book about waste which is fantastic for understanding the impact of waste on the environment.
