| |
| To mark its 150th Anniversary, an additional 9.8 hectares of parkland will be added to the Botanic Gardens at Tyersall Avenue. This will form a seamless extension to the west of the Gardens, bringing the total area of the Gardens to almost 74 hectares. Together, they will form an enlarged forest habitat and an important ex-situ conservation area. This enlarged scientific asset will play an integral role in strengthening the Gardens as an important tropical institute for research, conservation and education. The extension will also provide even more opportunities for Singaporeans and foreign visitors to enjoy this unique green space set within our city. |
