We went immediately after the tropical fruit farm. The fruit farm was well organised but the spice garden less so. Our experience would’ve been better if we were even allowed our taxi driver in with us! We weren’t offered the audio guide, just a map which was a little confusing.
It was an enjoyable visit nevertheless and we saw spices growing that we ordinarily wouldn’t have (smell the lemongrass! Wow!)
We got a little lost in there but it’s not too big. It’s a worthwhile visit, but the experience is not as good as the fruit farm. I just hope that they get the profit needed to have guides! X

A tropical delight. Go early in the day to avoid the humidity. A calm place to wander, sit, absorb.
Lots of paths so ensure good footwear. Use Insect repellent.
Take time to read the plant history.
Great for photos.

Le jardin tropical se trouve le long de la route entre Batu Ferringhi et Kampung Keling. Ils n'ont pas de parking à proprement parler, seulement quelques places en face, le long de la plage et des restaurants.
L'entrée coûte 28 RM par personne et vous donne accès au jardin tropical. Le jardin se décompose en plusieurs zones (plantes aromatiques, plantes toxiques, etc.) avec quelques cartels ici et là donnant des informations.
Le bas du jardin est joli, bien aménagé et luxuriant. Plus on monte, plus le jardin semble un peu laissé à l'abandon, avec pas mal de travaux, des arbres tombés en milieu de parcours, des escaliers ou parcours un peu endommagés, dommage. A l'accueil, le personnel nous a annoncé plusieurs points de distribution de thé mais nous n'en avons pas vu la couleur, bizarre.
Globalement, c'est un endroit sympa mais qui mérite vraiment d'être mieux entretenu. Boutique sur place, application gratuite avec wifi (qui fonctionnait mal) et carte du lieu donné à l'arrivée.
Une visite en demi-teinte.

A wonderful experience and incredible gardens. All the staff there are very helpful and friendly.
We did the cookery class at a reasonable cost but well worth every penny. Several people were at hand throughout the experience and you couldn't go wrong. If you like spices and spice cooking this is one for you. Even amateurs (like myself) come away knowing you've achieved something.
The gardens themselves are beautiful with wonderful hints of fragrance as you walk round.
A truly magical experience and worth a visit. Access around the garden is quite steep at times, with steps so less able bodied people might struggle.

We signed up for a cooking class at this beautiful place and are so glad we did! The lush garden and the beautifully maintained plants contained within are a tribute to centuries of local history - medicinal lore, cooking traditions carefully passed down through generations, and rituals that define Penang's rich culture as a spice port. James was our guide and he was excellent: funny, wise and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. After an hour-long tour, we began the cooking class with Chef Jamie and her two assistants. Each of the nine stations available had been beautifully set up with our ingredients and cooking equipment. Chef Jamie walked us through each step, answered questions patiently and explained rich and intricate recipes so clearly that even a non cook could be inspired to cook with confidence. Later, the nine people who had attended the cooking class ate the fruits of our labour together, bound by a delicious meal and the realization that we had shared a truly magical experience together.

Spent a couple of hours wandering around late one afternoon, did not join a tour but enjoyed reading the information points. Really lovely gardens with lots of inviting flora, we found it interesting to see the plants where so many of our cupboard spices come from. It's a very tranquil patch of lush greenery, with the added benefit of seeing (placid) monkeys and skinks when we were there. The gift shop is worth a visit for their home-grown spices, blends and aromatherapy oils.

Anreise ab Georgetown ist relativ einfach: mit Bus 101. Hat eine eigene Haltestelle, die kommt jedoch ziemlich plötzlich und man sieht den Garten erst dann, wenn man direkt davor ist. Also am besten den Fahrer bitten, dass er einem sagt, wann man aussteigen soll.
Der Garten selbst war für mich enttäuschend. Sah für mich eher wie ein kleiner botanischer Garten aus. Für mich die 28 Ringgit (umgerechnet 6 Euro) Eintritt nicht wert. Wenn man sich den Garten trotzdem ansehen will und eine längere Anreise (zB ab Georgetown) hat, dann am besten mit anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten auf der Route (zB Entopia Schmetterlingspark) verbinden.

We loved our visit to the spice garden. Very informative and a beautiful setting with lots of wonderful plants. We also saw the resident dusty leaf monkeys which were absolutely adorable and a snake!

We had visited the tropical spice garden on two previous occasions and didn’t hesitate to arrange a third visit. It’s a truly wonderful place where you can join a guided tour or just wander around yourselves. If you are a lover of plants and trees, then this garden must be visited. Admission is not expensive and it’s cost 48 ringgits for two adults. Do not refuse the insect repellent which is free and absolutely necessary!
A helpful map of the garden is provided with numbered areas of interest. Take your time…look up and down and make sure camera/phone batteries are fully charged!
There are some unusual flowering plants many of which have culinary or medicinal uses. There’s even an area showcasing poisonous plants.
There are a few steps which could affect anyone with mobility issues but these can be avoided. Unfortunately, a few days before we visited, a storm brought down an extremely large tree which destroyed an area of the garden containing a large swing.
Given the name of the garden, it’s not surprising that there’s a large collection of spice plants and the collected spices themselves.
On the way out of the garden, there’s a very good gift shop selling spices and gifts.
This is one of our favourite places in Penang and is well worth a visit.
Highly recommended

hi, if we are coming in a group of 16 persons by a 40 seats tour bus, is there any parking lot near and how far we need to walk to your garden after the bus parked? And we are thinking to have lunch at your restaurant on Aug 2 around 11:30, is it possible to book?

There is live guided tour at 1:30 pm but can i choose between live guided tour and audio tour? Or i have to buy ticket for live guided tour? I am not really like live guided tour much, because 2 of my group speak chinese, not english.
And can you update the tickets price?
Thanks.

The person I went with had some mobility issues. (Parkinson's) You can choose to some degree your own path ... and if there's a set of steps that looks daunting, you can usually find another route to see something else in the garden.
