“Gardens by the Bay -- Three distinctive waterfront gardens in the heart of Marina Bay that will define Singapore as the world's premier tropical garden city.
Gardens by the Bay epitomizes NParks' vision of creating a City in a Garden. Gardens by the Bay will capture the essence of Singapore as the premier tropical Garden City with the perfect environment in which to live, work and help make Singapore a leading global city of the 21st century. The Gardens will put in place a pervasive garden ambience and quality living environment from which Singapore's downtown will rise, and steer Singapore to the forefront of the world's leading global cities. It will complement and complete the necklace of attractions that have been planned for around Marina Bay.
Through plant-based edutainment, horticultural displays, garden craftsmanship and floral artistry, Gardens by the Bay will bring out the garden in our Garden City. It will boost Singapore's global standing in tropical horticultural excellence, and enhance our distinctiveness as a Tropical Waterfront Garden City. Ultimately, Gardens by the Bay will help enrich the lifestyles and recreational activities of Singaporeans and tourists alike through high-end edutainment opportunities and a sustainable green infrastructure. This will have a major impact on Singapore's future economic development and growth.
The 101-hectare[1] Gardens by the Bay site is made up of Gardens at Marina South, Gardens at Marina East, and Gardens at Marina Centre across the mouth of the Singapore River. Phase 1 of the Gardens is scheduled to open in 2011.” - From http://www.gardensbythebay.org.sg/index.php
