Supertrees of Singapore #ThursdayTreeLove

 

Image for Supertrees of SingaporeAlmost two years to the day, I was at Singapore’s Gardens By The Bay. Visiting this man made wonder after a day at Singapore’s famed Botanical Gardens was a bit of a downer because even though the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest were fabulous, it was a bit like costume jewellery :fabulous but fake. But in

In hindsight, though, the Supertree Grove is indeed a wonder. Did you know that :

  • 11 of the Supertrees are embedded with environmentally sustainable functions like photovoltaic cells to harvest solar energy.
  • Over 162,900 plants comprising more than 200 species and varieties of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers are planted on the Supertrees.

Now that alone makes this garden worth a visit. Isn’t it?

I’m linking this up with Parul’s #ThursdayTreeLove , a weekly initiative where other bloggers share their pictures of trees.

      Thanks for your kind words. I know it’s not a natural tree but it is amazingly ecofriendly being a solar power generator!

    These are indeed beautiful and a man-made wonder. I remember visiting here and trying to find a way to get on top, but we couldn’t do that then

    Absolutely stunning. Never seen anything like this and until I read your post, I did not believe they are natural. The shots are very neat too.
    Thank you for sharing Sunita and joining.

      These aren’t natural Parul. Only the plants growing on the structures are natural
