HortPark, Gardening resource center in Southwest Singapore.
HortPark is a 23-hectare garden in Southwest Singapore divided into ten themed zones including a Herb Garden, Fragrant Garden, and Butterfly Garden. Each section displays plants with information about their care and characteristics.
The park opened in 2008 as part of Singapore's plan to increase green spaces in the city. Its establishment reflected the government's commitment to bringing gardening and nature closer to urban residents.
This space serves as a gathering point where people explore gardening together through hands-on learning. The park reflects a community commitment to growing plants and understanding nature in an urban setting.
You can enter from several MRT stations nearby: Commonwealth, HarbourFront, Labrador Park, or Queenstown. The grounds are open from early morning until late evening, giving you a full day to explore at your own pace.
The two-story HortCentre building won an international architecture award in 2008 for its experimental green roof system. This rooftop design shows an innovative approach to integrating greenery into urban structures.
