英文原文

A great arboretum isn’t just a “tree museum” – it’s a living laboratory, a sanctuary for biodiversity, botanical exploration, and a place where people connect with nature. And the best ones balance science, beauty, and public access seamlessly. Established in 1940’s by settler farmer Tom Grumble within the Unilever Tea Estate as a sustainable project to break the expansive mono-culture of vast tea estates, forests and farms, Chagaik Arboretum is the most established community leisure foxhole in Kericho. It is calming to the senses! It includes native, exotic, rare, and endangered trees/shrubs, with clear identification; common & scientific names, origin, family. It is set up in a corner of the 87 km2 tea estate at the edge of the Mau Forest and conveniently close to the B1 Mau Summit-Kericho-Kisumu Road.

About 38 km from Mau Summit, or 8 km before Kericho, turn left and drive into the signposted road that takes appreciably close to the planned-with-all-details-considered picture-perfect tea farmlands through a staid gate that welcomes you to the picnic site. On arrival it is hard not to be impressed by the pretty lawns, unique floral interest bearing non-typical variations like bamboo, mature ancient trees, and past the picturesque Chagaik Dam. In every direction appears to a be perfect patch to rest and relax, in deep shade area, some of which are set under hundred year old trees. Even more gracious, is there are no charges. Among the highlights at Chagaik Arboretum include its plenitude of birds from the adjoining Mau Forest Reserve, its fine indigenous forest patch, and radiant botanic garden.

Around Kenya, there is a collection of beautiful botanical gardens, often a stunning and specialized area dedicated to the cultivation and display of indigenous and plant species from different parts of the world, highlighting their unique shapes, sizes, and colors. These gardens are designed to showcase the incredible diversity and beauty of unique plants, most known for their intricate and colorful flowers.
