The Singapore Botanic Gardens, a verdant oasis nestled in the heart of the city, is a testament to the intricate relationship between nature and urban life. Established in 1859, it's not only a haven for more than 10,000 types of plants but also a proud UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. Visitors can immerse themselves in the Ethnobotany Garden to learn about plants integral to Southeast Asian cultures or marvel at the diversity of orchids in the National Orchid Garden. With its rich history and commitment to botanical science, the gardens offer a tranquil retreat for both residents and travelers alike.
