Today we visited The Gardens On The Bay which had been highly recommended to us by like-minded friends who had been pretty amazed.

The gardens are only five years old and have two Domes – one The Cloud Forest and the other The Flower Dome,

The Flower Dome was full of different styled gardens from around the world with the most impressive being the one containing huge gnarled olive trees.  They were something like you would see at the Chelsea Flower Show.

The Cloud Forest was incredible with an enormous, absolutely enormous man-made mountain in the middle whose structure was completely covered by Bromeliads, ferns, orchids, Vireya Rhododendrons and an array of exotica. It was simply incredible.  The range of plants, the lush foliage and the colour was pretty impressive and mind blowing.  There was a walk way that began half way up and enabled you to get right up to the plants as you went higher and higher.  We were very impressed.

If you’ve been to Gardens on the Bay share your impressions with us.
