Singapore Botanic Gardens

Singapore Botanic Gardens is located at the heart of the city of Singapore. It is the most iconic garden in the green-obsessed city-state. The garden demonstrates the evolution of a British tropical colonial botanic garden that has become a modern world-class scientific institution used for education and conservation.

Since its creation in 1859, its cultural landscape includes a wide variety of historic features, plantings, and buildings that demonstrate the development of the garden and has been an important center for science, research, and plant conservation, notably in connection with the cultivation of rubber plantations, in Southeast Asia since 1875. 

In addition, it showcases the region’s most significant living collection of tropical flora with more than 10,000 types of plants. It was inscribed as Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
