Celebrate Autumn at Singapore’s Garden of Wonder

Soak in rich hues of orange, red, gold and green this October during the Autumn Harvest floral display at Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. Featuring more than 1 million plants from over 5,000 species, with the best of horticultural and architectural design, the award winning Gardens by the Bay is filled with wonders from across the globe. Be inspired by nature at Singapore’s Garden of Wonder.

Flower Dome




Explore Flower Dome, the World’s Largest Glass Greenhouse, home to 9 different gardens with unique plants from across Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Take in the cool and dry Mediterranean climate as you wander amongst thousand-year-old olive trees and unusual African Baobabs. Stop and smell the flowers in the colourful changing displays of the Flower Field, which reflects the season, festival and themes.

 
A lavish flower field saturated in rich hues of orange, red, gold and green welcomes visitors this October at the Autumn Harvest floral display. Savour how the traditional season of crop gathering is interpreted in creative ways - a bounteous land is inhabited by a fruit and vegetable giant; a lush farm plot overflows with abundant produce and blooms like anemones, gaillardias, phloxes and chrysanthemums; and Cinderella's pumpkin carriage sits pretty amidst pumpkin trees. Pumpkins take on yet another twist in the mini Halloween exhibit, where myriad carved and decorated versions celebrate the most anticipated festival of fall.


The Poinsettia Wishes floral display which follows from 10 Nov 2017 to 08 Jan 2018 transports you to the Nordic Region, where a lavvu – a tent-like dwelling used by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia – takes centre stage amidst a flower field of poinsettias, amaryllis and Christmas trees. At night, the floral display comes aglow while a projection of Northern Lights weaves its spellbinding magic.


Cloud Forest


The Cloud Forest is a mysterious world veiled in mist, surrounded by over 60,000 plants. Explore the highlands amidst orchids, pitcher plants, ferns and floral gems from the Tropical Montane regions.


Be amazed as you come face-to-face with the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 35 metres! Go on a trek behind the waterfall and enjoy the refreshing cool air and majestic views of the waterfall below. Descend through the surreal mist-veiled Cloud Walk and Treetop Walk.

Explore the 7 discovery zones for an interactive educational adventure – Lost World, The Cavern, Waterfall View, Crystal Mountain, Secret Garden, Earth Check and +5 Degrees. 

Supertrees & OCBC Skyway


Stand in awe of the towering Supertrees – vertical gardens that are home to over 150,000 plants from more than 300 species.

 
Take in panoramic views of the Gardens and the surrounding Marina Bay skyline. At a height of 22 metres, the OCBC Skyway which is a 128-metre long aerial walkway is an experience not to be missed. During the day, a stroll along the OCBC Skyway presents glorious photo-taking opportunities to capture the scenic beauty of the surrounding flora.
