Join us for a relaxing walk to discover the heritage stories of landmarks, icons and nature linked to Singapore’s maritime trading past.
About this Event

The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a unique and special place with many stories waiting to be told.


Moving through key sites from the Tanglin entrance, participants encounter stories shaped by ambition, survival and adaptation, from the Gardens’ origins in 1859 to its evolution into a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, explore stories that carry memories of people, places and nature, and trace the movement of plants, knowledge and ideas that powered maritime trade.


Discover some of the lesser known, behind-the-scenes research, hidden gems like the orchid propogation lab and the herbarium, and how these activites contributed significantly to Singapore's maritime trade economy.


Together, these stories reveal how the Gardens became more than a place of beauty, shaping livelihoods, connections and a shared sense of belonging that continues to grow today.
