MY GREEN FINDER | Plant Vendors: Shah Alam Bukit Cheraka

I dropped by VKK Nursery and Landscaping on the way home from Subang Impian last Saturday. If you have the time to stop by this nursery, you should be able to find an interesting plant that you would like here. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWsBHWwMD1d7eJONN5I8bydnLweJHeL8XuiszV3nXxjTPXA2cLWsdFBI5XsteqWHXrVg6oSytmMXI3KNivDcLq8xJ2uVLJ_I_PJEeHp6HqoMmOd2JHWuYcJGhB-iQShVpnl-7TNgQUdk/s1600-h/IMG_3673.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357963954045927618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWsBHWwMD1d7eJONN5I8bydnLweJHeL8XuiszV3nXxjTPXA2cLWsdFBI5XsteqWHXrVg6oSytmMXI3KNivDcLq8xJ2uVLJ_I_PJEeHp6HqoMmOd2JHWuYcJGhB-iQShVpnl-7TNgQUdk/s320/IMG_3673.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a> The nursery opens daily from 8.00am to 7.00pm and has been in this business for about 20 years, specialising in fountain works and grass turfing besides retailing plants and trees, black soil and topsoil. When I was there, there were two workers watering the plants that are in the open. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGxkN2btOiXTDHFjqbtQIdfDmytj6qu9xPKuivDl9iG9zPq4VgMp0iFroBGzpvRtoZ6ASy2f6JTwbsNWl13gYOEhxs3KsYEtlwv2bJZmlBpLbHo06yQGR_InV5PueBiXgGHBadFncSaog/s1600-h/IMG_3674.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357963965333803698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGxkN2btOiXTDHFjqbtQIdfDmytj6qu9xPKuivDl9iG9zPq4VgMp0iFroBGzpvRtoZ6ASy2f6JTwbsNWl13gYOEhxs3KsYEtlwv2bJZmlBpLbHo06yQGR_InV5PueBiXgGHBadFncSaog/s320/IMG_3674.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a> Plant Variety Rating: 4 | More than 100 types of trees, flowering shrubs, ferns and aquatic plants.
