Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam came in second place in the indoor gardening category at the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek Expo 2006 in Thailand this week.

Japan was ranked first in that category while Sudan came in third, Thai newspapers reported.

Meanwhile, in the large-scale landscape gardening (above 1,000 sq metres), Japan's "Garden of Luck" bagged first prize. Second prize went to the Netherlands' postcard-shaped tulip garden, while third prize went to China.

In the small-scale gardening category, Belgium beat all the other countries with its coiled shell-shaped garden filled with local flowers.

The expo, which, is being held at the 80-hectare Mae Hia of Chiang Mai's Muang District, comprises over 3.4 million tries from 35 countries.

The expo will run until the end of Jan 2007, where around 30,000 visitors are expected to visit the garden daily.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
