As a visitor to Singapore, my first impressions were, “wow….how green is this city!”
From the moment we stepped off the plane and into Changi airport three weeks ago, I was blown away with the sustainability developments within this small city. Singapore is reported to have the world’s highest density of greenery. With the expansion of skyrise greenery on high rise city buildings as a result of limited land capacity, Singapore is indeed a lush and vibrant palette of nature.
The beauty of the flora and fauna in this energetic city awaits to be captured…

Many hotels have their own vegetable gardens…

That is something I noticed as well, when I was in Singapore this year! Great modern city/country that also cares about greenery and nature. Very impressive!
Your photos are wonderful and capture the essence of this post very well. 🙂

From your pictures I can sense fresh air despite being in the city. It’s always fascinating when cities incorporate greenery. I’ve never been to Singapore, so to me the rainforest-like flora and fauna like you captured in your photos is quite unique.

There are some seriously beautiful plants there. I’m not sure I could cope with rooftop gardens that high up, though. I prefer my gardens to be securely on the ground.

Firstly, this is absolutely gorgeous. How would you NOT want to spend all of your time wandering through the gardens?? Secondly, it’s so eco-friendly!! I’m trying to find more plants I can grow myself but it’s difficult to find plants that I can bring in for the winter AND find a spot in my house where they get just the right amount of sunlight. I hope I can have something like the airport eventually!!! 😍😍
