Fruit and vegetables such as tomato, cauliflower,
cabbage and strawberries thrive in the cool climate
and fertile soil of the highlands. You can buy
them either from the market or the farm. There
are a few strawberry farms that you may visit
from Tanah Rata to Brinchang. Some of these farms
allow you to pick your own strawberries fresh
from the plant. It is always worth a visit to
see how strawberries are cultivated and take an opportunity
to taste freshly picked strawberries with thick
delicious fresh cream.
Flowers are also in abundance here. Cameron Highlands
is Malaysia's leading producer of fresh flowers.
There are many species that will dazzle you with
their wide range of colours and shapes. A number
of flower nurseries can be found alongside the
main road from Ringlet all the way to Kampung
Raja. There are also a number of rose gardens
in Cameron Highlands with more than 400 species
of roses.
The famous Cactus Valley in Brinchang is one of
the biggest and most popular tourist destinations.
Located in the cool mountains of Brinchang, Cameron
Highlands, Cactus Valley has many varieties of
cactus plants, some as old as 60 years. They are
grown on landscaped gardens, which make for interesting
viewing. There are also other plants such as roses
and orchids, apple and peach trees, and cherry
tomatoes. |
