"Eighteen years ago the site of the present beautiful Gardens was practically a waste ground. It is now the pride of the Colony and the admiration of all who visit it".
- Walter Fox commented about Charles Curtis contribution towards the establishment of the Penang Botanic Garden.
Penang Botanic Garden(Established in 1884)
Since it's still early and our room haven't ready yet - we decided to go to the Botanical Garden. The only thing that I can remember from this place during my childhood time was the monkey! I clearly remember that our picnic was ruined because of those naughty monkeys. But why put the blame on them when at first we're the one who feeds them. Hahaha.
The Botanical Garden or Penang Botanic Garden was established by Charles Curtis (1853 – 23 August 1928); an English botanist in 1884. The garden open daily from 5am till late 8pm and it's free. Many local do come here for recreation, having picnics with their families and jogging around the park. The park also serves as an education centre for people to learn about Malaysian's own natural flora.
