Visited the Singapore Garden festival 2008 held at the Suntec Convention Centre today. This event starts from 25th July and will end on 1st August. At Level 6, we were enchanted by the various dazzling displays of floral and garden themes created by award-winning garden and floral designers from around the world.

The Singapore Orchid Show is at level 4 and it is also held in conjunction with the festival too. Orchid lovers and hobbyist will surely be thrilled by the wonderful collection of new and brilliant species on display. Also, there are more than a hundred stalls selling souvenirs like T-shirts, orchids, exotic plants, pitcher plants, bags, books, etc.

I strongly advised those who don’t take to the cold well to at least wear a sweater or a jacket as it get rather chilling at level 4. We had to leave early, as my wife can no longer take it. Such a pity, as we have not entirely combed the whole area.

For the serious photographers, you need to be very patient in order to get a good shot, as many people will be happily snapping pictures and at the same time obscuring your view.

So, happy snapping!
