About this audio guide
This guide to Taman Tabebuya in Jakarta's quiet southern district of Ciganjur follows the people who keep it running: the park keepers and gardeners who work its lawns before the afternoon crowds arrive. It touches on the park's opening in the early twenty-tens, the years its upkeep slipped, and the Brazilian trees that gave it its name. Best heard on the wide walkway, with the tabebuya canopy overhead.
