We joined a guided tour of University Malaya's Rimba Ilmu on the 16 February 2011. The guides from the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) took us through the botanical gardens and we ended up visiting the exhibition hall.

Walking in Rimba Ilmu
By Adrian Ghani
Today we went to a botanical garden. It was a bit like a forest. The guides explained about different plants to us. There was one with flowers from the tree trunk.
We were allowed to touch some seeds and fruits like the til seed and the forest mangosteen
There was also a tree with a red tree trunk and the bark was peeling off like paper
After walking in the garden, we went into the exhibition hall.
