China

Botanical Plant Hunting


Picture
Mountainous areas in China difficult to access just a few years ago are now being opened at breakneck speed and developed for tourism. Join Sue Milliken and Kelly Dodson, of Far Reaches Farm, on their botanical plant-hunting journey into these new frontiers.
 
In their continuing search for specialty plants to cultivate locally, they travel to Shennongjia, a World Heritage Site, in Hubei province; the Mystery Valley on Mount Tianzhu, a maze-like valley formed by the rocks falling from the mountain; Huangshan, China’s version of Yosemite; ending in Zhejiang province at the closest thing to Sequoia National Park in China, with its large conifer specimens and the last remaining old growth stand of a specific Asian larch in the Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area. Their sojourn takes us to some of the best scenic areas China has to offer.
