+ IT IS QUITE AMAZING THAT THESE FOUR TREES, WHICH HAVE BEEN GROWING ON A CONCRETE STRUCTURE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, HAVE MANAGED TO SURVIVE AND FLOURISH. WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT PAINS TO PROTECT THEM,

+THANKS TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE TREES. THE 'SUNKEN GARDEN' IS WELL-SHADED WITH A BEAUTIFUL AND NATURAL LANDSCAPE.+

TO ENHANCE THE NATURAL BEAUTY THERE, SHRUBS WITH FRAGRANT FLOWERS WOULD ALSO BE PLANTED. THESE INCLUDE MOCK LIME (SCIENTIFIC NAME: AGLAIA ODORATA), ARABIAN JASMINE (SCIENTIFIC NAME: JASMINUM SAMBAC) AND ORANGE-JESSAMINE (SCIENTIFIC NAME: MURRAYA PANICULATA).

+SHADED PLANTS, SUCH AS LADY PALM, SPINY TREE-FERN, BIRD-NEST FERN AND BOSTON FERN, WILL ALSO BE PLANTED IN THE GARDEN, WHERE THE WET AND SHADY ENVIRONMENT IS SUITABLE FOR THEIR GROWTH, HE SAID.

THE SPOKESMAN SAID THE +SUNKEN GARDEN+ WAS ONLY ONE OF MANY ADDITIONAL AMENITIES IN STORE FOR KOWLOON PARK.

OTHER FACILITIES IN THE PIPELINE INCLUDE A FUN POOL AND INDOOR SWIMMING POOL, AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING CHINESE GARDEN AND A LANDSCAPED PASSIVE RECREATION AREA, HE ADDED.

SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE DENSELY-POPULATED BUSINESS DISTRICT OF TSIM SHA TSU! AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE MTR STATION, KOWLOON PARK IS A FAVOURITE VENUE FOR FAMILIES AS WELL AS YOUNG AND OLD.
