Diverse Plants of Singapore Botanic Garden | An Immersive Tour

Come with me on this immersive tour of the Singapore botanic garden, filled with spoilers, beautiful visuals, education, and uplifting atmosphere! This garden is free for public to access and contains many interesting features to nourish our thirst for botanical knowledge and to please our eyes. I focused on 3 main attractions in this tour so as not to overwhelm you.
We start off nerdy with the ethnobotany section, to look at the different ways they curate the exhibitions.
Then we head off to my favorite part, the Evolution garden - a walk through time as we explore prehistoric plants and their historic relevance and evolution. We see tons of ferns and cycads in this picturesque and unforgettable walk.
On the way to the third attraction, we were greeted by charming open areas where public gather, rows of heliconia and palm!
Finally, we visit the large zingiberaceae (ginger family) collection of the garden to see their well kept costus, banana, calatheas, and other marantaceae family!
This botanic garden is the envy of all nations, and the pride and joy of Singapore! Please give it a visit when you find yourself in Singapore.

We, Singaporeans, can only be proud of our garden when we share our joy with our neighbours and the World, thank you.

Очень красиво,могут быть змеи в ботаническом саду.

[@leonardboey5359]

Thank You Sean. Being a Singaporean, we really took for granted all these little treasures we didn't spend enough time with😢

[@onlyplants]

Its not too late to visit! And support it whatever way you can.

As the Singapore Botanic Garden has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so many improvements are funded by UNESCO.

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa this is interesting information! Thank you

[@conned]

While this maybe true,which I personally doubt, the SBG is funded by Singapore tax payers ,n managed by NParks, a Statutory Board, I'm sure there are other beneficiaries too, like Singaporean businessman Peter Lim and CR7, the footballer. We owed it to Sir Stamford Raffles n William Farquhar,both botany horticulturist enthusiasts who started the first Botanic gardens in Fort Canning hill, it is still there today with nutmegs, herbs n spice gardens. Kudos to nParks who maintain this 165 years old Heritage gem for all to find a tranquil place n to love n care for nature n their existence for our Earth n eco system. Thanks Pak Sean/Shaun for vlogging this. Btw, William Farquhar is Justin Trudeau Ggggggrandfather.!

[@SivalinPuthery]

since when UNESCO funds projects in countries? And NParks never mentioned anything about UNESCO funding in their yearly income/expenditure statement. Where did you get this information from?

[@tonytravelstaiwan3248]

I am very impressed and amazed by Singapore's Botanic Gardens.

[@delight7304]

😀🙏🏽

[@bugsalmudafar2973]

I think every town and cities around the world whether it's small or large should create a botanical garden. For people to be aware and educate about nature.

[@onlyplants]

Oh yes. Its important to be in touch with nature.

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Sean, and thank you so very much for taking us along with us to the Botanical Garden, such a beautiful place. I'm already looking forward to the orchid house visit since they are my favorite!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, the orchid house is coming up next!

[@whatajoke8497]

That stage that you mentioned is called the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage. Activities (usually band performances) held there are free to public and take place in the evening when it's cooler and people and sit around on the grass patches to enjoy the performances.

[@onlyplants]

This is so wonderful. Im sure the plants enjoy the live music too 🥰🥰

[@jacobdadow8720]

Stunning views and remarkable plants. Thank you for sharing Sean, so fun to see your travels.

[@giardinodialberi8751]

That is a colossal garden. It dwarfs some tropical gardens I've visited on the East Coast and West Coast of the States. Sean, this tour was a thrill. It was the perfect reward for two days of searching and placing mail orders for just 3 cycads! Thanks for delivering this miraculous visit.

[@onlyplants]

The Evolution Garden section looks so surreal! Didn't know that tree ferns could thrive so well on the hot lowlands. Wonder how the ideal growing conditions were recreated. Amazing!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. Ferns are quite adaptive and resilient.

Thank you so much for doing this tour Sean! I moved from Singapore last year and used to walk at the Botanic Gardens a few times a week. It was one of my happy places 😊 I used to volunteer there sometimes as well and potted up many plants for them! 🪴

[@onlyplants]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I love love indoor plants but don’t have much knowledge to take care of it. Thanks to you, and other plants KZbinr who gave me the encouragement to buy different types of plants. I am not afraid to get more “babies” into my house. ❤

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu 🥰

[@andrewwebb5170]

Thank you for the great video. I was there at Easter and absolutely loved it. I live in the North Queensland tropics and so much that they have there we have growing here also but there were many other plants that I would love to get my hands on.

[@onlyplants]

😀😀

[@StanWatt.]

Stunning as usual, Sean. I could live happily there.

[@onlyplants]

Yeahh I did not even explore the entire space!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Sean, that’s a very beautiful place. I wish I could help support you, I don’t know if you know anything about the U.S. social security system but as a retired senior our funding isn’t all that great and sometimes it’s a struggle. I love where you go and what you do and I wish I could help.🙁 Thank you again, thank you for taking us along, I get to see some very beautiful places that I would never ever be able to see if you did take us along with you. 🌷💚🙃

[@onlyplants]

Thank you for the kind thought. It is enough to keep me going. You are helping me out a lot when you watch the videos and comment, because youtube will push the videos to new viewers. ❤️❤️

Thanks to the bird(s) that contributed to the jungle effect of this video! Really loved the moss path, just looking at it from the video instills a very cooling and peaceful feeling.

[@johnlim549]

Singapore Botanic Gardens, Gardens by the Bay, other parks and nature reserves come under NParks and are funded from government coffers. Many companies sponsor specific projects, programmes and activities. Usually there is a sign nearby that proudly proclaims the sponsorship😂

[@onlyplants]

Thats cool! All other botanic gardens should take note. 😀😀

[@lilkat85]

Beautiful gardens, is Singapore a destination holiday for British families would you say? 😊

[@onlyplants]
