Today, SGF also launched the ‘Adopt-A-Plant’ initiative to encourage a love for gardening amongst Singaporeans. Between April 1 and May 28, more than 8,000 plants will be put up for adoption at Marina Square (April 1), Raffles Place Park (April 4), Orchard Fountain Corner (April 6), Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park (April 8) and Singapore Botanic Gardens (May 28).
A variety of plant species will be distributed, including the Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii), Painted Net-leaf (Fittonia albivensis ‘Verschaffltii’) and Variegated Peperomia (Peperomia clusiifolia ‘Jewelry’).
Members of the public can enjoy a 20 per cent discount on tickets when they present the accompanying plant tags at ticket counters during show days at Gardens by the Bay.
This year’s festival will be expanded to Bayfront Plaza. There will be nightly concerts, and over 100 stalls offering food and beverages, plants, gardening and landscape products for sale outside the ticketed area
