History of Singapore Botanic Gardens

Singapore Botanic Gardens has a fascinating history, which began in 1822 with the idea of the first ‘Botanical and Experimental Garden’, founded by the naturalist, who was also the founder of modern-day Singapore, Mr. Stamford Raffles.

Mr. Raffles’ vision became a reality with the establishment of Fort Canning’s first ‘Botanic and Experimental Garden’ in 1822. However, it wasn’t until 1859 that the Gardens found their current home, designed in the elegant style of England’s Landscape Movement, by a committee of agri-horticultural experts.

In 1928, the Singapore Botanic Gardens led the way when it came to breeding orchids, using the latest in vitro techniques to create hybridised plants. They kept up with the times and were a key part of the Garden City project, introducing plants of all kinds to the city.
