The story

Singapore Garden Festival in Singapore

The Singapore Garden Festival is a biennial international garden and flower show organised by the National Parks Board, bringing together award-winning landscape designers, florists, and horticulturists from around the world alongside Singapore's own talent. Now in its tenth edition in 2026, the festival has moved from Suntec Singapore to Gardens by the Bay, featuring elaborate floral displays, competitive garden showcases, and themed installations.

The Singapore Garden Festival began as National Parks Board's answer to the great flower shows of Europe, adapted to a tropical city-state that had already built its identity around gardens.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As Southeast Asia's premier garden and flower show, the Singapore Garden Festival distinguishes itself through international competition: landscape architects and florists from multiple countries design large-scale show gardens and floral arrangements judged against each other, a format modelled on Europe's grand flower shows but staged in a tropical setting

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2024 edition was held jointly with the 8th Global Botanic Gardens Congress, linking the festival to global conservation science rather than pure spectacle

03

The city starts moving

The 2026 edition at Gardens by the Bay introduces large-scale novelty features such as an eight-metre floral rollercoaster installation alongside roughly 7,000 orchids, while continuing to showcase the Singapore Gardeners' Cup, a companion competition for local community gardening groups
