Gardens By The Bay - Uniquely Singapore

Ticket to the Cooled Conservatories

Flower Dome - one of the two conservatories

The iconic features of the Gardens, the Cooled Conservatories, are the jewel in the crown of the gardens, and appear like an exotic outcrop on the edge of the Marina.  The Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest represent an innovative amalgamation of architecture, structural ingenuity, environmental engineering and landscape design.  They showcase the application of sustainable energy solutions and tell the story of plants and their intimate relationships with man and the ecosystem.  At the same time their 2 Hectare area offers a spectacular visual and spatial experience for visitors.

One of the themed gardens

Replicating the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid sub-tropical regions such as South Africa and parts of Europe like Spain and Italy, the Flower Dome boasts a permanent display of such plants as well as a changing display field that enables flower shows and displays to be held within the Conservatory.

Another themed garden

Check out the size of this giant hibiscus...  :D

This is my favourite section though...  The Autumn Harvest display

Guess I'm still a child at heart, thus the above displays are really heart warming.  :D

Here are some flowers which I thought were pretty unique...

A little like a dancing ballerina

Dainty...

So if you like to experience something uniquely Singapore, check out the latest attraction Gardens By The Bay and be sure to visit the Flower Dome as well as the Cloud Forest.  :D
