When we moved to Kota Kemuning 15 years ago, the main thing that enticed me to this township was the rich and extensive greenery of this place. Tall matured trees and shrubs were everywhere, providing shade and beauty to the environment. Well, most of this green landscape still abounds and for that, I believe many residents are happy. And I believe there are many here who are also lovers of Mother Nature and into gardening – especially the folks who run … [Read more...]

The weather was perfect that day - gentle little streaks of sunlight filtered through the leaves (so good for food photography!) and we had the … [Read more...]
