Mother's Day 2022

Our team have made some beautiful, edible bouquets for the orangutan mums and orphans at Sepilok.

The bouquets were made using many of their favourite foods such as edible flowers and plants, pineapple, watermelon, sweetcorn, mangosteen, langsat and much more!

Thank you so much to everyone who ordered one of our 'Mother's Day Bouquets' - the orangutans loved their special treat.
