Babymoon - PART III

Singapore: Gardens by the Bay

As time is limited this post has been broken into bite-sized pieces for you and me, you can check out the prior parts below:

Part I: Clarke Quay

PART II: Marina Bay Sands

Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay are huge, 101 hectares (250 acres) to be exact, it is broken into three separate gardens, the most well-known one being Bay South Garden which consists of two conservatories The Flower Dome and The Cloud Dome, both I will be discussing in future posts. The Supertree Grove, The Children's Garden, Horticultural Themed Gardens, a market and event space.

Here are some quick intros and images I snapped while enjoying my babymoon with my awesome husband @shai-hulud.

Horticultural Themed Gardens

There are two distinct themes, one being "Plants and People" and the other being "Plants and Planet" we walked past the first one on the way to the grove not fully understanding where we were but I did manage to snap the below seven-ton baby designed by Marc Quinn, but I was fascinated by the with the second, which was designed to open our eyes to the biodiversity of nature. I loved this what I call "Stair Tree".

The Children's Garden

While we didn't go into the children's garden due to limited time, and me being banned from trampolines, _{long story, but made short, I have a way of slipping a disc in my back when I bounce...} we did see it from the Cloud Dome and it looked super awesome, besides trampolines there was a whole adventure play park.

It was school holidays so there was children's entertainment all through Singapore and Gardens by the Bay was no exception, many of the Supertree Grove trees were themed from Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree adventure.

Supertree Grove

By far the most well-known part of Gardens by the Sea is the Supertree Grove, and for a good reason, besides dominating the skyline towering above us from a minimum of 25 meters (82 ft) up to 50 meters (160 ft). They are beautiful by day and free by the way, and magnificent by night.

Besides looking pretty they perform a number of other functions, these architectural wonders actually function like real trees housing a multitude of exotic plant species. They also have solar panels to store power to be used for the lighting shows and collect rainwater to water the gardens as well as act as intake, exhaust and cooling systems for the domes.

Unfortunately, we missed the last entry time after watching the laser show at the Marina, so we were unable to go on the elevated walkway, something I was pretty bummed about as it was on my to-do list, with luck and time we will get back there with our son and we can do it as a family.

Not to worry, every night the Supergrove Tree's light up but at 7:45 & 8:45 pm they turn into a show worth laying down on the ground for as a "Garden Rhapsody" takes over and music fills the air. The theme changes regularly and there were way too many songs to list but I can tell you that my hubby knew and loved them all.

Well, that's my garden's by the Bay adventure, as always thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my work, I hope you enjoyed it. Have a great day, night week or weekend.
