It has one of the oldest, most mature palm gardens in the world, and is nicely kept and displayed. Some of the mature plants there I have not seen anywhere else in a botanical garden. The orchid collection is one of the finest on the planet. And it is great (for me) that English is Singapore's official language so everything was easy to read and no language barriers. |

With over 20 acres of luscious plantings, the gardens have an outstanding collection of crinums, orchids, gingers, plumerias, palms, rainforest, native and non-native trees, assorted exotic tropicals and 3 lakes. Admission is free, but the National Orchid Garden, which is housed within the SBG has an adult admission fee of SD$5 (about US$4).
I'll be dreaming about this experience for many years to come. |
