Her Royal Highness Princess Sai Savali Bhirom, Krom Phra Sutthasininat Piyamaharaj Padiwarada, was extremely strict and meticulous in her work. All the ladies-in-waiting had work to do all day long. It was said of Her Royal Highness, “She was very meticulous; she had work from morning till night. She always found things to do. Even when we went to school, we had to go too. When we returned, there was still work to do. She never let us be idle because she never took a nap during the day. She always found things for the ladies-in-waiting to do, dismantling this and fixing that. Pages were allowed in and out, for example, to clean, dismantle, and lift heavy objects. A regular daily task was making garlands and flower arrangements, as Suan Sunantha had many flowers.”

Her Royal Highness would supervise and guide the ladies-in-waiting to arrange flowers and make beautiful garlands. It became evident that the ladies-in-waiting in Her Royal Highness's residence were regularly assigned the task of making garlands for royal ceremonies at the Grand Palace, such as garlands for the royal sword, numerous large chandeliers, floral arrangements, and other decorative stitches.
Within the grounds of Suan Sunantha… Numerous flowers are planted throughout the grounds. Every palace is beautifully adorned with flowering and foliage plants. The most important flowering plants are roses and orchids, of all kinds and varieties. In particular, there are hundreds of rose bushes, and a large orchid greenhouse housing high-quality orchids from both Thailand and abroad. The beauty of the flowering and foliage plants surrounding the palace, when in bloom, creates a vibrant display of colors and a fragrant aroma that permeates the entire area. It can be said that Suan Sunandha is truly the center of a kingdom of beauty within a national park.
