Introduction
The ” Institute of Succulent Cultivation Research ” has thousands of succulents planted in the greenhouse. The area is filled with cacti and agaves, resembling a tropical botanical garden with beautiful scenery. The owners, Zhang Jianjun and Zhong Jiaqi, both picked up farming late in life. They broke free of traditional thinking, and used gardening and cultural creativity to “make succulents more than succulents,” creating an oasis of healing and inspiring a different kind of agricultural tourism experience. For example, customers can make DIY cement pots, get hands-on with succulents, and revitalize the tired body and mind in the purest of ways.
The orchard adopts non-toxic practices. In addition to large crops such as fan cacti, aloe vera, and agaves, the greenhouse at the end is planted with thousands of healing plants of diverse variety. The two owners constantly ponder, “What else can succulents become?” They refined signature dishes and even got certified as horticultural therapists, pioneering an economy of healing. They hope to spread warmth through their cacti, enabling people to live enjoyably and happily.
The ” Institute of Succulent Cultivation Research ” has gone viral online. Zhang Jianjun and Zhong Jiaqi created their own brand and opened a restaurant, generating buzz through their service, and expanded the production area of succulent crops.

Zhang Jianjun mentioned that he developed a fondness for succulents a decade ago. Being an enthusiast of the culinary arts, he sought guidance from friends and family, watched online tutorials, and tried incorporating cacti into his cooking. He innovated specialty dishes. He hopes that succulents can transcend mere visual enjoyment and also serve to tantalize the taste buds, allowing others to share in the allure of the succulents.
The menu boasts a plethora of options, ranging from light snacks, dessert, fried delicacies, to refreshing beverages.
