Hi ๐๐ป …Hi ๐๐ป …In this blogging ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป is gonna sharing about her discovery of the 2๏ธโฃnd hiddenย gems ๐๐ย of Negeri Sembilan ๐ฒ๐พ from her recent FAM trip ๐๐ with @NSTGA ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฌ
Ohh…Whereโโ๏ธ
It’s named as Boden Edu Farm๐ฑ๐ฟ, a must visit farm๐ฑ๐ฟ in a garden & an agro tourism destination ๐whenever you are travelling to Negeri Sembilan of Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
It’s a fully operational farm๐ฑ๐ฟ & situated between 2๏ธโฃ townships of Batu Kikir & Bahau ๐
What’s BoDenโโ๏ธ
An acronym of “Boer” (a species of goat ๐ , literary meaning farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ in Dutch ๐ณ๐ฑ language) & “eden” means me in a local dialect of Negeri Sembilan ๐ฒ๐พ
It means My Farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ as she was told during the welcome speech ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ by the foundersย ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ(a married couple) with a desire to lead a new ๐ life journey in agriculture ๐ฑ๐ฟ after their career retirement ๐
Why thisย farm creationโโ๏ธ
The main aims to achieve are to have this farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ as a place of enjoyment, engagement & enlightenment with its complete ecosystem developed to showcasing nature ๐ at work. Then, the takeaways of its farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ visitors ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ would be experiential & educational from their farm visit ๐ค
๐~ Experience. Engage. Enlighten. Enjoy ~๐
During her recent trip, she was grouped in Team A with about 2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃpax of her tourist guide friendsย ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ for the farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ visit
There are 5๏ธโฃ sheds to visit within this ๐ฏ-acre farm๐ฑ๐ฟ,
1๏ธโฃ The Goat ๐๐ & Sheep ๐๐ Shedย
The founders ~ Mr Zainal Abd Ghani ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ& Mrs Fatimah Abdullah ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธaims to have its farm ๐ฑ๐ฟvisitors ๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญto observe & learn the goats๐๐’ behaviour while browsing cum sheeps ๐๐grazing
Also provide the exclusive up ๐ close opportunities to touch/ hold/ pat/ cuddle/ pamper/ feed ๐ผthe baby goats ๐๐/ sheeps ๐๐& adult goats๐๐/ sheeps๐๐
Before stepped ๐ฃ into the shed, she was advised to cleanse her shoes ๐๐ 1๏ธโฃst at the shed entrance๐ชby the farm officer๐ท๐พโโ๏ธ
She was amazed ๐คฉ & respected ๐๐ป this great procedures to protect the clean & safe environment for its goats ๐๐/ sheeps ๐๐
If you’re lucky๐, you will enjoying selfie ๐คณ time with the goats ๐๐ / sheeps ๐๐
Ohh…Hi ๐๐ป …You wanna have a selfie ๐คณ with SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Don’t be jealous ya ๐๐
Yeahโผ๏ธ Milk ๐ผ feeding baby goat ๐
2๏ธโฃย The Trigona Bee ๐ Sanctuary & Honey ๐ฏ Tasting ๐
Wowโผ๏ธ Once you stepped ๐ฃ into this sanctuary, you will be surrounding by some free ๐ flying stingless bees ๐ ๐ to foraging for food & nectar ๐ท๐น๐ธ๐บ๐ผ๐ป
Definitely a haven for the pollinator ~ stingless bees ๐ ๐ source the nectar from the variety of flowers & plant๐ท๐น๐ธ๐บ๐ผ๐ป, to find materials to constructing & securing their bee ๐ hives
Wow โผ๏ธ๐ฒ Exclusive chance to get personal & close contact with these tiny harmless gift ๐ of nature๐๐ณ๐ณ Need not โ worry ~ stingless ya ๐
Yeahโผ๏ธ She got a straw & with exclusive chance to taste the honey ๐ฏ directly from the bee ๐ hives. So so yummy delicious ๐๐คค
4๏ธโฃย The Tea ๐Garden & Tea ๐ต Tasting ๐
A relaxing garden walking ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ & learning more about tea ๐ plants
A plot to showcasing the different types of plants used to producing Boden’s herbal teas ๐๐ต Really an enjoyable tea ๐ต tasting ๐ as each has its unique flavour & health properties ๐
Unlike the so called “true tea” which are brewed from the tea leaves ๐, the Boden herbal tea ๐ตare made from the leaves๐, fruits๐ & flowers๐ from its farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ cum garden ๐คฉ
Hmm…Curious ๐ค about the types of tea ๐ต SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป & friends ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ have enjoyed & tasted ๐ during this tea ๐ garden visitingโโ๏ธ
There are lemongrass, butterfly ๐ฆ pea, ginger, peppermint, Roselle, Mulberry ๐ etc. ๐๐คค
Personally, she loves โค๏ธ the butterfly ๐ฆ tea ๐ต the most, not just because of its purple ๐ colour, but its taste too ๐
Hmm…So sad ๐ that she forgot to get a packet ๐๐ of butterfly ๐ฆ tea ๐ต home ๐ก ๐ญ
4 The Potting Shed
Yeahโผ๏ธ “Green ๐ Fingers” is a myth ๐
As you all are aware, different plants ๐ฑ๐ฟrequire a different admixture of the planting media, then the plants will glow & blossom, green ๐ fingers or not ๐
Some of the herbs planting ๐ฑ๐ฟwithin the garden,
Ohh ya…She loves โค๏ธ the interactive ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฅsession at this plot where she got an enjoyable learning & hands on experience in planting ๐ฑ๐ฟ
The steps ~ soil mixing, compost, plants & seedling, watering ๐ฆ๐ง, then harvest ๐ฑ๐ฟ
She has chosen for a misai kucing plant ๐ฑ๐ฟ & took it home ๐ก after the session as her trip souvenir ๐ for her papa ๐ด๐ป
Her papa ๐ด๐ป loves ๐ gardening…Not SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป ya ๐๐คฃ
However, she definitely a nature ๐๐ณ๐ณ lover
Wowโผ๏ธ๐ฒ A video clip ๐น๐ฅ captured by the farm officers ๐ท๐พโโ๏ธ๐ท๐พโโ๏ธ during her visit
Wow โผ๏ธ๐ฒ She really loves โค๏ธ her 1๏ธโฃst visit to this farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ & you have to visit it ya ๐
Oppsss…Do remember that this farm ๐ฑ๐ฟ is only open ๐ for group tour ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ during weekend via advanced booking ๐โ๏ธ๐ฑ, no โ walk-in ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธya ๐
