Botanical gardens Singapore

With the botanical gardens only a short walk away from our house, it’s quite natural to then spend time in beautiful surrounding for daily walks. Especially with the social distancing that we all have to practice for everyone’s safety.

The gardens were stablished in 1859 and on UNESCO’s Heritage Site. It’s 60 acres of land transformed from a disused plantation into the popular recreational garden today – a recreation for jogging & lazing about, as well as a leading centre for botanical & horticultural research. The National Orchid Garden boasts the world’s largest orchid display, with over 60,000 plants & orchid plants.

Daily inspiration, outdoor lighting

We live in an old house that’s that is classified as heritage but it’s not older than around 110 years. We can’t change things on the outside which is fine with us since this is something we care about. But we can change luminaries in the entrance, although it’s important to be careful so it fits with the surrounding. I think this one would look really nice, modern but still with a hint of tradition & respect for timeless style.
