Located at the 14.5-kilometer mark of Provincial Highway 14A in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, the Meifeng Farm of National Taiwan University features diverse ecological landscapes. By adopting soil and water conservation practices and environmentally friendly methods, it produces healthy and high-quality agricultural products, serving as a site for teaching, research for related departments at the university, and environmental education for the public. It was also awarded the First National Environmental Education Award – Institutional Division, Excellence Prize, on June 23, 2013.
This year’s “Spring Feast” event is divided into five major zones, united by the concepts of “Garden,” “Fate,” “Circle,” “Origin,” and “Source,” forming the overall framework of the 2014 Spring Feast. Highlights include the “Dried Flower Room,” “Temperate Flower Area,” and “Monstera Deliciosa Special Exhibition Room,” all showcasing the beauty of spring blossoms through the farm’s horticultural expertise; the romantic “Peach Blossom Corridor,” opening with a pink-hued tunnel that brings families, couples, and friends together in a lovely ambiance; the “Early Spring Mountain Wildgrass Special Exhibition,” featuring a collection of unique native plants from Taiwan’s mid-altitude regions, creatively arranged; along with displays reflecting the farm’s commitment to natural, safe, and healthy farming practices, illustrating the harmonious relationship between food and people.
