Visit to Botanic Garden & HortPark

Thanks to the hot and humid weather, we were being forced out of the house again today. Brought our son to Botanic Garden for lunch and a short walk around the sheltered facility.



Nicely renovated shelter


Botanic Garden has become more and more attractive after the much-awaited makeover took place.



Nice Pond full of lotus.




Wooden Sculptures of various shapes and sizes








Our son never fails to feel very excited whenever he sees lot of fishes inside the pond.


We tried walking out to the park for a while, we ended up perspiring so much after 10 mins that we decided to leave for a cooler place.

But in actual fact, we 'drove' right into another inferno - HortPark. HortPark is a one-stop gardening hub that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. It is a knowledge hub for plants and gardening and provides the platform for the industry to share best practices and showcase garden designs, products and services. This 23-hectare regional park in South-Western Singapore is also a park connector, connecting Telok Blangah Hill Park to Kent Ridge Park. It was officially opened to the public on the 7 December last year.





Main entrance


Good for evening chill out...


Wow..so much enclosed plants...


Hort Mart selling most of the gardening tools and plants..


Nice combination of colors.


So much greeneries inside air-con room, is it really neccessary?


Looks like the enchanted Garden in one of the fairytale I have read during my childhood days.


There is so much to see, will definitely drop by again during cooler part of the day.
