Singapore's familiar sights recreated in the form of gardens

Singapore's familiar sights recreated in the form of gardens

Some familiar sights in Singapore will come alive at the HortPark this September. Fifty community gardening groups have paired up with staff from the National Parks Board to create garden displays in celebration of Singapore's 50th birthday.

From the kampungs of yester years to an iconic dragon-themed playground - these were recreated in the form of gardens about 200 square metres each.

Artist's impressions of the five gardens are on display at an event organised by the NParks on Sunday (Feb 8). The gardens' creators hope to get Singaporeans to reflect on the nation's past and also envision its future as Singapore celebrates its Golden Jubilee.

One such project focuses on recycling and roof top gardens, in a bid to encourage more creative and sustainable gardens in Singapore. The gardens will be constructed from June this year.
