The Division of Building and Facilities, University of Phayao, through its Garden and Landscape Section, has carried out improvements and expanded green spaces within the university by transplanting 43 Tabebuia rosea (pink trumpet) trees from the University of Phayao Hospital area to a new location beside Ang Luang, near the Yellow Bridge in front of the Agriculture Café. This initiative aims to increase shade, enhance the beauty of the landscape, and elevate the surrounding scenery of the university.
Prior to planting, the Garden and Landscape Section prepared the area by improving and conditioning the soil, using compost from the BioNest innovation to add nutrients and adjust the soil structure to suit tree growth. This helped the Tabebuia rosea trees establish themselves well after transplanting and grow strong over the long term.
When the flowering season arrives, the Tabebuia rosea trees will bloom in full pink blossoms throughout the area, creating a beautiful and striking atmosphere. This has earned them the nickname "Thailand's Sakura." Thanks to the charm of their soft pink clusters blooming all at once, these trees are expected to add color to the area around Ang Luang and the Yellow Bridge, and are poised to become another landmark for nature viewing and capturing memorable photos within the University of Phayao.
In addition, the Garden and Landscape Section has also replanted Mexican sunflowers (Bua Tong) in a separate area opposite the Tabebuia rosea planting site, replacing deteriorated plants and improving the overall condition of the planting beds. When the flowering season arrives, the Mexican sunflowers will bloom in vibrant yellow, adding color and creating a striking highlight that complements the university's landscape.
This initiative is part of the ongoing development and enhancement of the University of Phayao's landscape, with emphasis on preparing planting areas and conditioning the soil using compost from the BioNest innovation to promote tree growth. This helps increase shade in green spaces and creates a sustainably pleasant environment within the university.
