  • Get ready for one of the most epic tours yet-Gardens by the Bay in Singapore! The cloud forest conservatory is SO large, that we had no choice but to turn this into a 5-part series, with this first part establishing how Gardens by the Bay was developed, including some never-before-seen before-and-after shots. Prepare to have your mind blown on this architectural and botanical feat, which put Singapore on the map.
    Stay tuned for the subsequent episodes, because Chad Davis and I will go in-depth into what's growing in the conservatory. If you're a bonafide plant nerd, you won't want to miss an episode.

    Singapore had its 'garden city' project since 1967, still poor at that time, like a hot mudflat, but we still assembled a team of biologists and designers to not just plant in strategic locations but to bring in plants that did not exist in Singapore but came from places of similar climate like Brazil. It was a great success, we went from 55,000 new trees in 1970, 158,600 in 1974 and to 1.4 million by June 2014. We planted in all corners of our tiny island. Around 10 years ago, we upgraded it into the 'city in a garden' strategy, of course there is gardens by the bay as well as heavy subsidies for buildings who do vertical planting. The result of this is that we co-exist better with animals in the city, squirrels can now hop onto buildings like its a tree, climb up and live there. Water otters, previously not sighted, migrated here and flourished. When foreign politicians visit, like Obama, the government will gift them a unique orchid hybrid and name it after them. Plants are important!

    MY DREAM! I work here at Earthship Biotecture and we have some awesome indoor botanical cells out in the desert, I've also been to the biospheres, but this looks like all of that combined, and on steroids. Singapore is on my list now. Thank you for this awesome video, I cannot wait to see the rest.

    Summer, I have followed you for a while. LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. I don't usually spend time to comment, but I have been wanting to ask you if you would use your platform to speak to and educate your audience about critical environmental topics facing humanity. Biodiversity loss, impact of climate change, why plants and insects are so critical to our environment etc. I know these are HUGE topics and no one wants to be preached to, but I cannot help but think most people would want some facts about the issues, especially people who love plants, gardening and our planet. Just something to think about. Thank you for all you are doing. Your passion for what you love comes through and it's so inspiring.

    a smaller air-conditioned glass flying saucer that crash landed in a botanical garden is at the Adelaide royal botanical gardens. it does not have a vertical garden island or skywalks more than one story high, but does have an elevated walkway that is close to the canopy level for many trees.
