As you enter the main gates of Bay South at Gardens by the Bay, be awed in the full splendour of three Supertrees clad in a bright visual spectacle of gold and yellow coloured bromeliads.

While at the Silver Garden, a mix of grey and silvery epiphytes cover another set of three Supertrees, creating a warm romantic ambience. Besides the Supertrees, discover other plants in the Silver Garden, such as various species of Palms and the Tropical Blue Bamboo.

A Supertree is covered by a variety of over 162,900 plants comprising varieties of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers. The tallest Supertree in Gardens by the Bay stands at 50m high while the shortest one is at 25m high. There a total of 18 Supertrees in Gardens by the Bay, all located within Bay South. Twelve of the Supertrees can be found in the Supertree Grove (will opens in JUNE 2012) while the others are placed in clusters of threes in the Golden and Silver Gardens respectively. The Supertree comprises four parts which are the reinforcement concrete core that upholds the structure, the trunk that’s attached to the core, the planting panels for installation of the living skin, and lastly the canopy.

The design and structure of the Supertrees are inspired by the dominant trees of the rainforest.

Gardens by the Bay consists of three distinctive waterfront gardens – Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central, spanning a total of 101 hectares. They are set in the heart of Singapore’s new downtown Marina Bay, encircling the Marina Reservoir like a green necklace. The Gardens will complement the array of attractions around Marina Bay.

Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government that further transforms Singapore from a ‘Garden City’ to a ‘City in a Garden’, in which the city is woven into a green and floral tapestry. This aims to raise the quality of life in Singapore with a more holistic and all-encompassing programme that enhances greenery and flora in the city. First announced to the public by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally in August 2005, Gardens by the Bay will become Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon.

An international competition for the design of the master plan was held in January 2006 to elicit the best designs for the Gardens. This attracted more than 70 entries submitted by 170 firms from 24 countries, from which two firms – Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter – were eventually awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and Bay East Gardens respectively.

The Gardens are being developed in phases. Bay South is currently being constructed and is slated to be completed by June 2012. Bay East has been developed as an interim park in support of the Youth Olympic Games 2010, and is scheduled to open to the public in June 2012. The full master plan implementation of Bay East and the development of Bay Central are part of the next phase of development.
