In addition to cherry blossoms, the botanical garden also has a variety of other plants, allowing you to feel the charm of nature while enjoying the flowers! If you have a car, then you definitely shouldn't miss the cherry blossoms at Wan'an Home Culture Park! Although there is no subway...

It’s important when you rootwash plants to provide optimal soil water every day, particularly when it’s hot and sunny (as this south-facing garden is). Even with the gentlest root washing there will be a loss of fine roots. But the continuity of the soil system means that the soil ...
