Through
play and exploration, the Children's Garden will cultivate
an appreciation for plants, nature and the environment among
the young. It meets the demands for nature education in an
increasingly sophisticated tropical Garden City. Developed
along the theme "All Life On Earth Depends on Plants", it
is created as a unique and interactive fun place where children
up to 12 years of age can discover how plants provide their
daily needs. It also gives children a first introduction to
the life sciences - an important branch of science as Singapore
embarks on life sciences research as a new thrust for economic
growth.
Experiences in the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden will stimulate
a sense of wonder for the plant world and provide happy memories
for our child visitors.
