The place, called Manila Seedling Bank, teems with various flowers, plants, trees, herbs and organic vegetables at unbelievable prices you never knew exist in the megalopolis.
Just sharing some pictures of flowers: hibiscus (gumamela), bromeliads and exotic orchids below:

How to gt to Manila Seedling Bank, Quezon City:
Commute: The place is just walking distance from MRT Quezon Avenue station. From Manila, jeepneys bound for Fairview/Philcoa pass by the place. Alight at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue, and walk towards the pedestrian entrance. (There's no entrance fee)
Directions by car: entrance of private cars/taxis is located on Agham Road (near Office of the Ombudsman and Philippine Science High School (PSHS)). From EDSA Cubao, drive towards Monumento then turn right on Mindanao Avenue (Trinoma Mall), right again on North Avenue then another right on Agham Road. There you'll see the entrance to the place. There's no parking fee!

sampaguita/kampupot ang national flower natin pero wala ng kampupot...ito yun double petal na sampaguita
ReplyDeleteanonymous, there's really no such thing as national flower, only national anthem and national hero. probably de facto national flower but not de jure, if you get what i mean :(
ReplyDeletewhat time does the manila seedling opens?
