Tammy and Costa head to ‘garden city’, Bandung, in West Java. It’s a centre for plant growing in Indonesia and one street is even called Plant Street - it’s a 10-kilometre stretch with nothing but plant nurseries.

It’s a horticultural hub with all sorts of plants being grown and sold. There is colour everywhere in both the nurseries and houses along the way.

They stop at a section dedicated to fruit - sapodillos, huge mangoes, jackfruit and more.

The Jambu are related to lilly-pillies grown in Australia, but the fruit are much larger - the size of a small pear.

One section is like a frangipani forest. These salvaged plants are for sale but they’re not in pots; they’re being grown in the ground and already about 5 metres tall. If you want to buy one, it will be dug up and delivered.

Featured plants:

Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota )

Mango (Mangifera indica cv.)

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

Pomegranate (Punica granatum cv.)

Jambu (Syzygium sp.)

Frangipani (Plumeria cv.)

Filmed in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia

Letchworth Garden City manufacturing history

Letchworth Garden City was conceived by Sir Ebenezer Howard who set out his thinking in a book, Garden Cities of Tomorrow. His aim was to combine town and city advantages. Thinking reached reality in 1902 when a company was formed to buy land and lay down designs for the new city. This was at the time of the Arts and Crafts Movement and echoes of the movement were to be found in the new city.…
