As Singapore’s on its way to becoming Asia’s greenest city, thanks to the works of the National Parks Board, we’re seeing a boom in luscious greenery and foliage planted around our concrete jungle. There’s no denying that the addition of greenery does wonders in beautifying a space in the city, and more importantly, our homes. The little joys of nurturing life and seeing your efforts grow, literally, may be just what you need to liven up your space and perhaps your state of mind.
With all the varieties and species of plants out there, the thought of picking up a plant from a nursery may prove to be a little intimidating without professional guidance. Or if you’re looking for an aesthetic addition to your home, the usual terracotta pot selections at the usual nurseries might not be in alignment with your interior vision. In that case, it might just be worth skipping the outdoor nurseries altogether, and make your way to the plant boutiques that provide utmost care into curating their selections of plants and potters alike. Below, we round up the best addresses to visit in Singapore.
