Mandai Orchid Garden to move to Kranji
Come new year, Mandai Orchid Garden as we know it will be no more. Friday is the last day at its current location, before it moves to Kranji by the middle of next year.
The 60-year old garden is one of the oldest in South East Asia. Its owner, Heah Hock Heng said it has some 50,000 orchid plants comprising over 100 varieties.
The Garden's lease expires on Friday and it is moving to make way for the expansion of the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari.
And due to land space constraints at the new place, Mandai Gardens has sold some of its plants to the Shangri-La Group and Singapore Botanical Gardens. It has also offered some orchid plants for sale to the Singapore Island Country Club.
Mr Heah said some exciting ideas are in the works for the new place, but until then, talks are in progress with the new landlord.
