Nong Nooch and the IPS Biennial 2012

摘要

The 2012 Biennial will take place in Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in September, 2012. The palm collection at Nong Nooch promises to be dazzling (Fig. 1). The 600-acre Nong Nooch Tropical Garden that lies some 163 km southeast of Bangkok, is perhaps oneof the world's largest privately owned gardens. The land was originally purchased to create a mango and other fruit orchard for Mr. Pisit and Mrs. Nongnooch Tansacha. The Garden formally opened to the public in 1980, and the orchard was transformed intothemed sub-gardens.
