Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden (KFBG)
Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Lam Kam Road, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong
The Green Hub has reimagined the Old Tai Po Police Station, a declared monument built in 1899, to demonstrate how we can live sustainably while at the same time respecting nature and respecting each other.
Visitors are invited to enjoy our locally-sourced, healthy food; join one of our transformative educational courses; learn about community events; engage with a network of community members who care about living lightly on our planet; and experience the beauty of this tranquil heritage site.
The KFBG began in 1956 as an agricultural aid project supporting villagers with livestock and farming. Located on a once-barren, eroded hillside, it was chosen for its reliable year-round water supply. As Hong Kong developed, the site shifted from agriculture to conservation, and in 1995 became a botanic garden and nature reserve. Today, KFBG combines ecological restoration, sustainable farming, education, and biodiversity protection. Its mature secondary forest supports native wildlife, improves resilience to climate change, and demonstrates how human and nature can coexist and thrive through careful land management and restoration. In December 2025, KFBG’s long-running, scientifically informed forest restoration programme has been awarded Premium-Tier Certification by The Global Biodiversity Standard, the first site in the world to achieve this accolade.
All guests are required to stay on property and no outside guests are permitted on grounds without prior approval.
