Gardens by the Bay is finally opening! And we are honoured to be one of the Appointed Bloggers for the anticipated Grand Opening.
We were down at the Bay East Garden in April this year. And while we had a great time time running ourselves silly over there, we couldn't help but look forward to the time when entire Gardens by the Bay is fully opened to the public.
And that time is NOW.
From 29 June to 8 July 2012, expect a host of exciting events as Gardens by the Bay serve up a buffet of fun-filled activities! And here is just a brief introduction to the various Attractions at Gardens by the Bay.
The Flower Dome, with its iconic design, serves to replicate the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy. Home to a collection of plants from deserts all over the world, it showcases the adaptations of plants to arid environments.
