Discovering Forstgate Conservatory
December 15, 2023
Sometime in spring, I found a hidden paradise nestled amidst towering structures in Central, the capital city of Hong Kong. While exploring the place, I stumbled upon Forstgate Conservatory, located atop the hill from the waterfalls. The conservatory has three sections, and one of them is the Dry Plants House I featured in my recent blog, a desert in the city. It houses succulents and other dry plants of different sizes and shapes from different parts of the world. Today's blog will be about the Humid Plants House at Forstgate Conservatory.
My amazement continued as I stepped into the third section of the conservatory. The green tapestry greeted me, and I took in the beauty of the natural world while expanding my knowledge of the botanical world. From the arid desert at the Dry Plants House, I was transported into a rainforest at Humid Plants House. It is astounding how many varied environments are on display at this conservatory, taking visitors to various corners of the plant kingdom.

Botanical creatures thrive in this conservatory: lush trees; plants of different kinds; flowers in vibrant colors; and even medicinal and endangered plant species are conserved here, and this gives environmental awareness to visitors about the importance of conserving nature. The place has a remarkable resemblance to a small rainforest. The pond's water surface was covered in floating lilies. My eyes were delighted by the surrounding vegetation, while my ears were soothed by the sound of the waterfalls.
My walk in this conservatory reminded me of the significant influence that nature has on us, and our responsibility to preserve, value, and safeguard it in this complex world with a complex ecosystem. This is a place where people may learn about biodiversity while immersing themselves in nature, rather than just a place where botanical plants thrive. On top of that, its tranquil atmosphere truly makes it a haven for nature lovers, and even for knowledge seekers.

This is very beautiful. I feel very good seeing the nature here. There are also different types of foliage and trees. It is like watching our fall scene from above.
A great find indeed Jane, you got me excited for Spring now. Got quite few months to go to see all the green. Cold rainy day here but not cold enough for snow, needs to be a few degrees colder. Thanks for sharing this mood changing place it was a delight seeing you bring it to light. !LUV !HUG

It's winter here but I sometimes feel like summer, lol.. still not feeling that cold I am anticipating...
Soon you will have jacket and cap. Ice skating soon,hehe?
Haha.. Hoping.. But not maybe soon 😅
I still remember watching the video of your first time skating hehe
I want in a real ice haha
I here you like a small pond surrounded by snow where the elements freeze the water. I think this becomes reality for you someday. I haven't forgot to make you a snowman btw but I won't put skates on because I'm not that great at it 😂
Haha.. Show me real snow.. I wish I could go to the snowy part of China while I am near it..
With all the hiking you do im surprised you haven't run across it at higher elevations. I feel you knock this off your buck list soon 😊 Hey that's a good article topic, Buck Lists, hehe
It's needs visa to go to China.. and one day isn't enough to tour there..
Oic didn't realize you needed more since your are already there.
Hope the earth quake activity ends there. Did you feel tremors in HK?
Bucket list not buck list, hehe. Good evening have a great week ahead Jane :)

What a lush and lovely green space to take a bit of refuge in. This reminds me of my local conservatory that I should check out to see how it has changed since I was last there more than twenty years ago.
💚
