After our visit to the aeroponics farm, we made our way to our second destination: Bollywood farm. Before we set off on the tour, our guide told us to hydrate ourselves and to use the citronella leaves on the floor as mosquito repellent, which I thought was extremely cool! With that, we set off on the tour. We saw many plants like the mimosa tree, moringa(drumstick) tree - contains 4.5 times more calcium than milk, hibiscus - used for cosmetics and shoe polish, banana tree - leaves used to make plates with edible fruits, flowers and stem. Wild pepper can also be used as fritter and it has medicinal properties, the starfruit can be placed on the wound to stop bleeding. Fun fact about bananas: If they point down, they are inedible!( so cool!) All in all, the trip was enjoyable.
