Theme Gardens, Gardens by the Bay

Singapore

These gardens showcase the best of tropical horticulture and garden artistry. Together with mass flowering and coloured foliage landscape, they form a spectacle of colour, texture and fragrance within the Gardens, providing a mesmerising experience for visitors.

The Heritage Gardens are a collection of 4 gardens that reflect the history and culture of Singapore’s main ethnic groups as well as the city-state’s colonial heritage.

  • The Malay Garden tells the story of life in a traditional “kampong” (village).
  • The Indian Garden’s layout echoes a traditional illustrated flower motif.
  • The Chinese Garden reflects the role of gardens in Chinese culture as places of inspiration through seclusion and tranquillity.
  • The Colonial Garden tells the story of plants as “Engines of Empire”.
