20 Mar 2020 - Supertree Grove (Garden by the Bay)

After dinner, we continued on our adventure to the Supertree Grove.  Along the way, we passed by an interesting Floral Clock.

Supertrees can be found all around Gardens by the Bay where twelve of them are located at the Supertree Grove, with the tallest one measuring up to 16 storeys in height.  These Supertrees are designed with large canopies that provide shade in the day and come alive with an exhilarating display of lights and sounds at night.

Each Supertree consists of a trunk core made of reinforced concrete wrapped with a steel frame.  Planting panels were installed on the trunk, which is now home to over 158,000 plants comprising more than 700 species and varieties of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers.

We had purchased the tickets to the Supertree Observatory.  As we approached the entrance, one of the staff informed us that the observatory is currently under partial maintenance and the rooftop deck, which is the main highlight, is closed to visitors.  Since our tickets are valid for 30 days, he suggested that we return on another day to fully enjoy the observatory.  We took his suggestion and we will be BACK soon!  :-)
