SMKDU surroundings boasts of its own Herb Gardens where useful and
nutritious plants rich in medicinal properties are planted. The Herb
Gardens were created so that fellow SMKDU pupils would be more
knowledgeable about traditional medicine and herbs. We hope to expose
students to the usefulness of these unique plants and to help our students
to love and appreciate nature. Furthermore, the setup of these Herb
Gardens is vital to educate our pupils who are interested in having a
career in the agricultural sector as these herb and traditional plants have
commercial value and potential. It is also a vital component in Agriculture
Living Skills education to lower secondary pupils.

The Herb Gardens were one of the few projects launched during the
Ceriaton Campaign in April 1999 as part of an effort to upgrade the image
and surroundings of the school. Among herbal plants within the Herb
Gardens include the "Kacip Fatima", the "Tongkat Ali" (Eurycoma
longifolia Jack), Aloe Vera, Ginger, Pandanus, White Hibiscus and the
Noni Plants, the pride of our Herb Gardens and these Noni fruits are highly
prized for their medicinal and delicious juices.
