Gardens by the Bay has some new competition for coolest garden attraction with the recent opening of Singapore Botanic Gardens Tropical Montane Orchidetum (TMO).
The attraction, which serves as an expansion to the existing National Orchid Garden, has been in the works since 2017, and the end result certainly doesn t disappoint.
The TMO was designed to simulate a tropical montane forest (hence its name), showcasing orchids and plants from a mid to high-elevation montane forest.
Tropical Montane Orchidetum
It’s no secret that we Singaporeans love our parks and gardens, from neighbourhood enclaves to popular spots like MacRitchie Reservoir. For folks who haven’t heard, the Singapore Botanic Gardens has recently opened its newest attraction:
Tropical Montane Orchidetum.
Located within the
National Orchid Garden, the attraction features dreamy trails winding through a “secret ravine” and air-conditioned glass house. We headed down to check it out, and here’s what you can expect in that latest addition to our things-to-do scene:
