The Garden at Jardin de Pu Luong is more than just a garden – it reflects the daily life and wisdom of the local ethnic communities. During my time here, I could feel the challenges people face, especially when it comes to healthcare. That is why every plant in a mountain family’s garden carries meaning: healing herbs for wellbeing, fruit trees full of natural nutrients, all grown without chemicals.
Among them, wildflowers are planted not only for beauty but to bring joy and warmth into family life. Walking through our garden, you will discover how nature here quietly nurtures both body and soul, making life richer and more harmonious.
The palm tree in Pù Luông holds a special place in our lives, its wide green leaves spreading out like a shelter for the villages. For generations, its leaves have been used to roof houses, wrap cakes, weave hats, and make fans, becoming an inseparable part of daily life. Walking through villages under the palms or trekking across palm forests, you can truly feel the rustic beauty and the harmony between people and nature in this land.
Bamboo is a remarkable grass, growing quickly with stems that are both strong and flexible. Light yet resilient, it has long been a symbol of our country. More than just a plant, bamboo is woven into daily life – used to build houses, craft furniture, make paper, and create beautiful handicrafts. Across Asia, it is cherished for its durability, versatility, and its deep connection with people.
The banana tree is closely tied to the daily life of the local people here. Its green leaves are often used for wrapping cakes, the blossoms are a familiar ingredient for a fresh and crunchy salad, while the ripe yellow fruit is sweet and nutritious. Even the trunk of the banana tree is used as feed for pigs, chickens, buffaloes, and cows.
