TENOM AGRICULTURE


Description:
Tenom Agricultural Park is one of the most exciting man-made parks found in Borneo, located 3 hrs drive from Kota Kinabalu. The park is set against a background of truly natural landscape with lush greenery of the Crocker Range which creates a picture of a beautiful natural park all around. The Park is a sprawling 500-acre establishment, administered and owned by the Sabah Agriculture Department and is part of the 1,500-acre Lagud Sebrang Agriculture Research Station. The park was officially launched in March 2001. 

Home to a myriad of parks, research centres, lakes and farms, the Sabah Agriculture Park is a colourful paradise of flora and fauna. The Park is home to various gardens with the Ornamental Garden being one of the most frequented. A version of nature’s paradise, the garden has 21 mini gardens, such as the Bougainvillea Court, Hibiscus Garden and Lily Glade. The flowers are often in full splendour and there is nothing more memorable than a stroll in the park surrounded by cascading and colourful blooms. Also worth a visit is the Evolution Gardenwhich showcases the different stages of plant evolution from as far as 4.5 billion years ago.
