Supertree Grove,Singapore
Iconic urban landmark and showcase of sustainable design. Supertree Grove is part of Gardens by the Bay and demonstrates Singapore's ambitions to blend urban development with nature. The vertical 'supertrees' act as living gardens and incorporate environmental technologies (solar panels, rainwater harvesting and ventilation), promoting biodiversity in a dense city and serving as a symbol of Singapore’s green vision.
Places to visit
- Supertree structures — 18 vertical gardens that rise like futuristic trees
- OCBC Skyway — a 128-metre aerial walkway connecting two of the taller Supertrees (panoramic views)
- Garden Rhapsody — nightly light and sound show that animates the Supertrees after dusk
- Nearby attractions — Flower Dome and Cloud Forest conservatories, and Marina Bay skyline views
Unique Aspects
- Living vertical gardens planted with a wide range of epiphytes (orchids, ferns, bromeliads and climbing plants)
