Ulu Pandan Nursery 
This nursery commenced operation in 1970 when it was found that space 
for the production of potted plants was insufficient within the Botanic Gardens. 
Much of the nursery is devoted to the production of potted plants for decora- 
tive purposes. Besides these a variety of shrubs, palms, aquatic plants and tree 
saplings are also grown. 
To meet the ever-increasing demand for cut orchid blooms, a quarter of the 
total nursery acreage has been planted with terrestrial orchids. Most of these are 
grown in beds sited on the slopes of the nursery. 35 new beds were dug during the 
year and planted with 5,442 terrestrial orchids. 
The number of plants produced by the nursery in 1971 totalled 258,498.
