A Fragrant Garden in Perth

I visited my family's old friend from Sg. Aup in Perth. Menai has been living in Perth since Ted, her English husband decided to relocate from Hong Kong and Brenda had to go to school. They chose Perth to put down their roots.

Menai had a lot of foresight. She brought seeds of limes and other plants like ensabi to grow in Perth. Thus she started an Iban Kebun in Perth.

Lemons grow well in Perth and she has a few lemon trees. 
she also grows a lot of mint which makes her little garden so fragrant.

Menai is a good gardener. She has so many different kinds of sayur and friends can have a good makai session in her house any time of the week.

Besides she has also cultivated many different kinds of plants and flowers, some of which are rather rare.
