These photos are from the visit i made in december. HortPark is such a pretty place, and surprisingly big! Up on the hill and hidden amongst the towering industrial buildings, it feels very quiet and peaceful, a little spot hidden away from the rest of the world. So much so that we went back again the next sunday evening, just to lie on the lawn and read a book =) It really doesn't feel like you're in singapore anymore! Think it's gonna be a popular place on my relax-and-do-nothing list.
One cool thing about the place is that they've got many differently themed little gardens like the cacti garden, the asian garden (grass planted in the yin-yang symbol!) etc. And it's quite a brilliant thing, because they get all the different landscaping companies to sponsor (i'm assuming) a garden however they want it, so HortPark gets free designers and maintenance and plants, and the companies get free advertisement. Everybody's happy =) And i must say, they did a really impressive job, not only with the blooms but also the designs. Pretty interesting.
