It is indeed very difficult to find flower gardens in a metropolitan city like Jakarta. But it’s not wrong, at Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta you can find a park that has many types of orchids that are so complete.

Not only on display, the flowers here are also bought and sold if someone wants to buy and take them home. Starting from small seeds to large orchids.

A brief History

Since the 1970s this park has been around. First, only a few traders were selling flowers here. But now there are so many and even tens.

The reason Ragunan was used as a flower garden was that at that time it was considered to have the right air for orchids.

But now Jakarta has air that is already mixed with pollution and heat. Therefore, where orchids are currently growing, they have moved to Bogor and Sukabumi.

After the orchid flowers are considered big, they are transferred to Ragunan. This was done based on the experiences of several traders that growth in Ragunan took quite a long time compared to Bogor.

If the orchid is left in Ragunan, it will take approximately 5 months, while in Bogor, with only 2 months, this plant has grown flowers and is beautiful.

There are so many enthusiasts, the traders here are also increasing, causing land expansion.

The land in this park reaches 5 hectares and it is also divided into 42 plots. The rental price for each plot here is around 800 to 1000 m2.
