Singapore Botanical Gardens

I had been to Singapore Botanical Gardens today. It's a huge garden that's a very popular hangout for families. With a lot of greenery and open space, it gives kids a lot of place to run around too! :) There are a couple of lakes and artificial waterfalls as well to add to the beauty of the garden. There's an open auditorium too where events are organised from time to time. But the best part of the Gardens is the "National Orchid Garden" 

National Orchid Garden has been developed as a separate sub-part of the Botanical Gardens that primarily has a large varities of Orchids. The garden has been very beautifully organised. There are a few fountains, sculptures etc that add to the beauty. There are some sections created within that highlight special kinds of Orchids: eg: the Coolhouse houses the orchids that grow in cool places.  The Mist house has the 'summary' of best orchids grown in the Orchid Garden. The ergonomics of the place are well designed to have seats/water fountains/restrooms etc within reach should you feel the need for one. There are many photo points that have been setup specifically so that visitors can get nice snaps clicked with the Orchids. 

I spent a couple of hours there and thoroughly enjoyed the time amongst the flowers, not to mention the opportunity this gave me to click another bunch of snaps :)

If you are ever in Singapore, keep the National Orchid Garden on your agenda for sure. Oh btw, there's an entry ticket of SGD 5. 

Next on the list is : Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Let's see if I make it to the place tomorrow.
