Level 1


Our twin domes now sit amid lush greenery as the roomy expanse of our entrance has been transformed into a wild garden landscape. Here, you'll find the Gelam Tree, Sea Tristania, Yellow Rain Tree (which line most of the roads in Singapore), and Rainbow Gum Tree with its colourful bark. Along the pathways, you’ll see tall grasses that were once found in kampongs. Rest on the wooden benches, admire the minimalist water features and take in the scents and colours of 26 plant species that help enhance our garden’s biodiversity.
