The Singapore Botanic Gardens Are World Class
The Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG) is one of the most popular gardens in the world. Founded in 1859, it’s played a pivotal role in Singapore’s orchid industry, but there’s more than orchids in its 203 acres (82 hectares.) This tropical paradise is home to the National Orchid Garden, and also a Ginger Garden, Children’s Garden, Fragrant Garden, Evolution Garden, Ethnobotany Garden, a real tropical rainforest, several restaurants, and much more.
Dave’s pictures from last month’s visit reveal just a tiny fraction of the garden’s lush grandeur. The SBG is also a major center for plant science, conservation, and education. In 2015, Singapore was proud to have the gardens declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of only three botanical gardens to receive the honor. With over 10,000 plant species on display, and millions of visitors annually, the SBG is certainly a world-class institution. Check back here soon for more photos from Dave’s Singapore trip.
