Indonesia is estimated to have 25 percent of the world's floriculture species (Cecep Kusmana, 2015). With this potential for diversity, floriculture research and innovation in Indonesia has bright prospects (BRIN, 2022). West Bandung Regency, especially in the Lembang and Parongpong sub-districts, has floriculture cultivation plantations by local farmers and has become an floriculture edutourism destination. This floriculture cultivation plantation is still on a limited traditional-conventional scale, even though cultivation has great potential to be developed on a technology-based research-innovation scale. Study precedent Gardens by the Bay, Singapore is a blend of botanical gardens with extraordinary architectural structures. Has a function as a floriculture education tour and research center. Center for Floriculture: This Research and Education Room can accommodate local farmers and agricultural scholars, especially the millennial generation, to support agricultural regeneration in West Bandung Regency. Also with this, the millennial generation has a higher value view of plantations and can channel their creativity with the knowledge they get in formal education. On the other hand, having an educational function at the research center can help local farmers in the economic field by utilizing the expertise they have.
