This summer, the plants of Chuen Lung Village are thriving, making it the perfect opportunity to learn more about them. Plant specimens are a fundamental part of plant research. This workshop, organized by the Plant Conservation Department of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, will allow the public to get up close and personal with plant specimens, learn about their collection, preparation, and preservation, and engage in conversations with botanists.During the workshop, you can create your own “Plant Specimens of Common Species in Chuen Lung Village,” exploring these plants from both scientific and artistic perspectives, and finally take your specimen home!

About KFBG

Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden conducts plant surveys in Chuen Lung and the nearby Tai Mo Shan area, and organises workshops and lectures at Koon Man Space. The project will culminate in the creation of a booklet as a record.

The aim of the project is to document the oral history of Chuen Lung villagers’ use of plants, combining this with the expertise of KFBG’s plant conservation specialists. This initiative seeks to enhance public understanding and awareness of the plants in Chuen Lung and Tai Mo Shan through various means, while also highlighting the importance of conserving native plant species.
