Video: Far East Organization Children's Garden
Grant Associates has released a short film showing local children enjoying the recently opened Children’s Garden at Gardens by the Bay.
The Far East Organization Children’s Garden provides a one-hectare mix of play experiences for all ages, including water play, rainforest tree houses, ridge top trails and topiary pergola arches all in a special garden setting overlooking the Marina Reservoir. The space encourages playfulness by giving children the liberty to explore, imagine and create within a garden setting that sparks the child’s imagination and appreciation for nature and the environment.
Since opening in June 2012, Gardens by the Bay has received over 10 million visitors including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The project has been acclaimed worldwide for its remarkable blend of nature, technology, environmental management and imagination and is a showcase of horticulture and garden artistry that brings the world of plants to Singapore and presents Singapore to the World.
Highlights of Bay South include 18 Supertrees(25-50 metre vertical gardens that light up at night); two giant Cooled Conservatories (designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects), housing Mediterranean and Tropical climate plants; and a rich variety of Horticultural Gardens, designed around the themes 'Plants and People' and 'Plants and Planet'.
