The Bogor Botanical Garden in West Java on Thursday (27/4). This year, the Bogor Botanical Garden celebrates its 200th anniversary.
Beginning as a simple garden in the backyard of the Dutch governor general’s official home in 1817, the Bogor Botanical Garden has now transformed into one of Southeast Asia’s largest centers for conservation. It is located right in the heart of Bogor, reaffirming its function as the city’s lungs and a public oasis for the locals who long for open green spaces.
The faces of Aira, 7, and Fahri, 4, were full of smiles. They ran after each other and laughed every now and then. Their mother Dina Yulita, 35, accompanied them that day, watching them run around on the green grassy field at the Bogor Botanical Garden in West Java.
