Greenhouse Field Trip

 My host-mom knew how much I love botanical stuffs. So, on friday, April 20th, 2012, My host-mom and my host-siblings headed out to the greenhouse that a friend of ours at church has. We just drove there for about 45 minutes (no big deal, huh?!). Once we got there we were amazed with beautiful flowers and plants lined up in front of the retailer house. The one who led us to this greenhouse tour was Joeul, a friend of ours at church. He has these greenhouses for about 20 years or more. He said it was a joy for him to mantain the greenhouses as his living.
As part of our tour, first Joeul showed us all his collection of different type of vegetation that he has in his greenhouses. Also, some of his greenhouse workers showed us how to cliped the plants and flower. He also said on how he struggled to keep some type of plants alive in their unnative land. In this picture later on you can see how he has succeed to plant banana trees in Minnesota.
We also got to practiced how to put some seed in the pots, in the end of our tour he gave us two free pots full various seeds from his greenhouses. He said he was so glad to share a little bit of knowledge about botanical, also he was so interesting to know different type of vegetation in Idonesia. Overall, it was worth it to miss one day of school for the Greenhouse field trip. (hhe)
