Singapore Botanical Gardens

Here is my favourite garden again but today we decided to explore the Bt Timah side of the garden, which is known as the Eco-Garden.



At this lake, you can see turtles sun-tanning around the wooden bridge & hardly any fishes. Koi & other fishes can easily be found in Symphony lake instead.








I love these wooden benches, I think they add a feeling of 'classics' to the scenery.







Up the slope on way back to the visitor centre & along the way, if you look down the slope, you can see many fruit trees like Jackfruits, Durians, Mangosteens, Starfruits etc. Should you decide to to go nearer the trees, be careful of the flys/mosquitoes there, they bite painfully:-(


What a good start for a day to begin with, enjoying the fresh air & scenery.:-)

Singapore Botanical Gardens

Another refreshing morning at the garden!!! I love its Symphony Lake greenery & nature.

The bandstand, built in 1930s, though no longer used to stage musical performances, is still one of the best known features of the Gardens.

Singapore Botanic Gardens

Located at 1 Cluny Road, the Spore Botanical garden is easily accessible via public transport. It is my family's favourite garden for Sunday morning walk. The best time to take a walk is between 7am -8.30am for the fresh relaxing cool air and not so hurting sunshine.

(Symphony Lake)

Remember to bring bread to feed the fishes & turtles. There is a hugh population of them at the Symphony lake. You can find big Koi, catfishes & many types of fishes there. They look ever hungry.

Wild ducks will come by when they see you feeding the fishes

(Ginger flower)

As you approach the Ginger garden section near the waterfall, you can hear classic Chinese songs being sung by a group of song lovers

It is really a good place to visit especially if you can wake up early in the morning. By walking in the garden & enjoying the beautiful landscape & hearing natural sound of birds singing, you will find that life is beautiful & has the revitalised will to live on.
