What To Expect

Spices have been cultivated and traded in Malaysian for centuries. This can be traced back to the country's traders, who had contact with traders from other parts of the world, such as India and Sumatra. Malaysia has a rich history of spice cultivation, especially in the northern region of Penang. In fact, it is said that when Captain Francis Light first arrived on Penang Island in 1786, he found spices already growing there!

The Spice Garden was originally established by British colonialists with the intention of cultivating new spices to send back to Europe. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, where you can explore the gardens and learn about the history of spice cultivation in Malaysia.

The Tropical Spice Garden is home to over 500 species of plants, including spices, fruits, and vegetables. You can explore the garden at your leisure, or take one of the guided tours for a more in-depth experience. There's also a restaurant on site where you can sample local cuisine made with ingredients from the garden.

The spice garden is divided into two sections: the outdoor gardens and the greenhouses. The outdoor gardens are laid out in a well-manicured landscape, with winding paths that take you through different sections of the garden. The greenhouses are more like traditional hothouses, with glass ceilings that allow sunlight to bathe the plants inside.

It's a bio-diverse living museum dedicated to the spices and other tropical plants that have shaped our world's history. There are incredible but untold stories hidden in this Eden. And they want to share this treasure with as many people as possible.
