2. Gardens by the Bay
• The Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares (250 acres) in the Central
Region of Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three
waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden (in Marina South), Bay East Garden (in Marina
East) and Bay Central Garden (in Downtown Core and Kallang). The largest of the gardens
is the Bay South Garden at 54 hectares (130 acres) designed by Grant Associates. Its
Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world.
• Gardens by the Bay was part of the nation's plans to transform its "Garden City" to a "City
in a Garden", with the aim of raising the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in
the city. First announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at Singapore's National Day
Rally in 2005, Gardens by the Bay was intended to be Singapore's premier urban outdoor
recreation space, and a national icon.

3. • Being one of the popular tourist attractions in Singapore, the park received 6.4 million
visitors in 2014, while topping its 20 millionth visitor mark in November 2015 and over
50 million in 2018.
Bay Central Garden
• Bay Central Garden will act as a link between Bay South
and Bay East Gardens. It stands at 15 hectares (37
acres) with a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) waterfront
promenade that allows for scenic walks stretching from
the city centre to the east of Singapore.
Bay East Garden
• Bay East Garden is 32 hectares (79 acres) in size and it
has a 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) promenade frontage
bordering the Marina Reservoir. An interim park was
developed at Bay East Garden in support of the 2010
Summer Youth Olympics. The first phase of the garden
was opened to the public in October 2011, allowing
alternative access to the Marina Barrage.

4. • It is designed as a series of large tropical leaf-shaped gardens, each with its own specific
landscaping design, character and theme. There will be five water inlets aligned with the
prevailing wind direction, maximizing and extending the shoreline while allowing wind and
water to penetrate the site to help cool areas of activity around them.
• Bay East Garden provides visitors with an unobstructed view of the city skyline. Upcoming
developments of Bay East Garden will be based on the theme of water.
• In 2018, Bay East Garden was designated as the future site of the Founders' Memorial.
• Bay South Garden opened to the public on
29 June 2012.[8] It is the largest of the
three gardens at 54 hectares (130 acres)
and designed to show the best of tropical
horticulture and garden artistry.

• The overall concept of its master plan by Grant Associates draws inspiration from
an orchid as it is representative of the tropics and of Singapore, being the country's
national flower, the Vanda 'Miss Joaquim'. The orchid takes root at the waterfront
(conservatories), while the leaves (landforms), shoots (paths, roads and linkways) and
secondary roots (water, energy and communication lines) then form an integrated
network with blooms (theme gardens and Supertrees) at key intersections.
Conservatories
• The conservatory complex at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, comprises two cooled
conservatories – the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, situated along the edge
of Marina Reservoir. The conservatories, designed by WilkinsonEyre and Grant
Associates, are intended to be an energy-efficient showcase of sustainable building
technologies and to provide an all-weather edutainment space within the Gardens.
Both are very large (around 1 hectare (2.5 acres)) and the Flower Dome is the world's
largest columnless glasshouse

6. Flower Dome
• The Flower Dome is the largest greenhouse in the world as listed in the 2015 Guinness
Book of World Records at 1.2 hectares (3.0 acres) and replicates a cool-dry mediterranean
climate. It features a changing display, the flower field, and eight other gardens, namely The
Baobabs, Succulent Garden, Australian Garden, South African Garden, South American
Garden, Olive Grove, California Garden and the Mediterranean Garden. These eight
gardens exhibit exotic flowers and plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid regions
from five different continents.
• Here is the list of some plants growing in the Flower Dome.
Adansonia grandidieri
Adansonia madagascariensis
Adenanthos sericeus
Agave guiengola
Agave victoriae-reginae
Aloe barberae

Bulbine namaensis
Camellia japonica
Carnegiea gigantea
Ceiba chodatii
Cleistocactus winteri
Crassula ovata
Cyphostemma juttae
Dasylirion longissimum
Dianthus barbatus

Dracaena draco
Echinocactus grusonii
Euphorbia horrida

7. Faucaria tigrina
Ferocactus glaucescens
Ferocactus pottsii
Fouquieria columnaris
Jubaea chilensis
Magnolia grandiflora
Cloud Forest
• The Cloud Forest is higher but slightly smaller at
0.8 hectares (2.0 acres). It replicates the cool
moist conditions found in tropical mountain
regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and
3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found
in South-East Asia, Central- and South America.
It features a 42-metre (138 ft) "Cloud
Mountain", accessible by an elevator, and
visitors will be able to descend the mountain via
a circular path where a 35-metre (115 ft)
waterfall provides visitors with refreshing cool
air.
Olea europaea
Phoenix canariensis
Phoenix dactylifera
Protea cynaroides
Pseudobombax ellipticum
Xanthorrhoea glauca

8. • The "Cloud Mountain" itself is an intricate
structure completely clad in epiphytes such as
orchids, ferns, peacock ferns, spike-
and clubmosses, bromeliads and anthuriums. The
design by Grant Associates was inspired by the
Maiden Hair Fungus and consists of a number of
levels, each with a different theme, including The
Lost World, The Cavern, The Waterfall View, The
Crystal Mountain, The Cloud Forest Gallery, The
Cloud Forest Theatre and The Secret Garden.
Supertree Grove
• Supertrees are the 18 tree-like structures that
dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights
that range between 25 metres (82 ft) and 50
metres (160 ft). They were conceived and
designed by Grant Associates, with the
imaginative engineering of Atelier One and
Atelier Ten. They are vertical gardens that
perform a multitude of functions, which
include planting, shading and working as
environmental engines for the gardens.

9. • The Supertrees are home to enclaves of
unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and
also a vast collection of bromeliads such as
Tillandsia, amongst other plants. They are
fitted with environmental technologies that
mimic the ecological function of trees:
photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy
which can be used for some of the functions
of the Supertrees (such as lighting), similar
to how trees photosynthesize, and collection
of rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain
displays, similar to how trees absorb
rainwater for growth. The Supertrees also
serve air intake and exhaust functions as
part of the conservatories' cooling systems.
Children's Garden
• Designed by Grant Associates, which also designed Gardens by the Bay, the Children's
Garden was fully funded by Far East Organization for $10 million. This attraction was
opened on 21 January 2014. The children's garden is near the treehouse and the adventure
trail. The adventure trail consists of trampolines, balancing beams, hanging bridges and
more.

10. Horticultural themed gardens
• There are two distinctly different sets of horticultural themed gardens which centre on
the horticultural heritage of the various cultural groups in Singapore and on the
biology and ecology of gardens and forests. They are an important part of the Gardens'
edutainment programme, which aims to bring plant knowledge to the public.
• The "Heritage Gardens" theme features gardens that highlight the various cultural
groups in Singapore and the important role that plants play in their respective cultures,
as well as the country's colonial history. It also focuses on economically important
plants in Singapore and South East Asia.
• The four gardens are the Indian Garden, the Chinese Garden, the Malay Garden and
the Colonial Garden.
• The "World of Plants" theme emphasizes the web of relationships amongst the various
plants within a fragile forest setting, showcasing the biodiversity of plant life on the
planet. It consists of six subthemes illustrated by six "gardens", which are named
Discovery, Web of Life, Fruits and Flowers, Understorey, World of Palms, and Secret
Life of Trees.

11. Budget
The Bayfront Plaza is the main entry precinct into
the Gardens from Bayfront MRT station. It includes
an attraction called Floral Fantasy which consists of
four garden landscapes of floral artistry and a 4D
ride experience. The 1,500 sqm Floral Fantasy
features floral artistry, as well as a 4D multimedia
ride simulating the journey of a dragonfly's flight
path through Gardens by the Bay. Included is also
an indoor events space, the Bayfront Pavilion, a
cafe and a food and beverage fair on weekends.
The final construction cost for the project, not including the price of the land but
including an access road, drainage works, and soil improvement, was within a $1.035
billion allocated budget.[20] The annual operating cost was expected to be approximately
$58 million, of which $28 million was for operation of the Conservatory buildings. The
project received 1.7 million visitors between June and October 2012, who had free
admission to most portions of the park but were required to purchase tickets for entering
the Conservatories.
