Designed by award-winning Singaporean landscape architect, Damian Tang, and featuring more than 8,000 orchid plants, the colourful floral showcase recollects the many tales and legends that surround this city-island. Come discover the stories behind Tanjong Pagar, Redhill, Sisters’ Island, Pulau Ubin, Kusu Island, Sang Nila Utama and the Singapore Stone – as told through the language of plants. 

Local folktales being retold in the language of flowers…

Along the way, take a walk down memory lane with scenes from the past that pay tribute to the unsung heroes who helped to build this nation.

Long before there was Golden Village, there was the mobile movie hut.

2. Garden Rhapsody (SG50 Special)
now till 10 Aug 2015 | 7:45 PM, 8:30 PM, 9:15 PM & 10:00 PM | Supertree Grove | FREE

Mesmerizing Garden Rhapsody at the Supertrees!

This special SG50 edition of the Garden Rhapsody is not be missed! Featuring lasers for the very first time, it presents a medley of familiar national day songs sung by Benjamin Kheng of The Sam Willows and other prominent local vocalists.  As we stood there watching the presentation, my heart swelled with nationalism, pride and gratitude.  I sang aloud with the daughter with gusto and was almost moved to tears by the sense of coming of age for Singapore. What a beautiful garden, what a beautiful land to call our ‘Home’.  Highly recommended for families in the lead up to our 50th National Day.

Turn up your volume to enjoy snippets of the Garden Rhapsody (SG50 Edition)!

GBTB is another good alternative to catch the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s Black Knights as they fly past the Supertrees in an unprecedented “50” formation to salute the nation. Visitors can also enjoy the “Majulah Singapura” themed fireworks display along the waterfront promenade.  Pack your picnic mats, buy takeaways from the nearby Satay By The Bay, enjoy a local feast with the family as you enjoy the aerial flypast and spectacular fireworks displays!  A truly unique Singaporean way to bond which the kids will remember for a long time!
