a small garden on a hill. beautiful flowers, many birds, butterflies

A little off the track; it may be a little more difficult to climb all the stairs but the views are worth it

Thank you very much to Woodlands Botanical Garden for hosting us. It's not only educational, but heart-warming to see such a Nature-Gems, complete eco-system and biodiversity built from scratch by volunteers and private funding. It's also very sad to know this is the last small natural forest in Woodlands that used to have a lot of WOOD-the-land. 😭😨😡😵.
We still need your support to up keep this nature ♥️. And by attending their free event on every last Saturday of each month.

Amazing biodiversity garden grown on a steep slope entirely by community efforts. Would be great to have more initiatives like this across our island.

Very ideal place to get some exercise and weight/stress lost while getting to admire some really pretty sights along the way!

a really unique garden unlike any other in Singapore containing endangered species of plants and insects

Interesting place. good to go and relax.
children can learn a lot things. so bring along your family

Very diverse wildlife here

An absolute gem! Love the passion and dedication behind the careful curating of the plants to ensure their health and diversity as well as respecting the roles played by bees, damselflies, dragonflies, ants etc for the sustainability and to help them thrive. Best to go in the morning when the birds, bees and friends are out and about their business so you can experience the wonders of creation.

Amazing garden, a must see treasure within the community🪴

Beautifully curated garden at the neighbourhood. Taken care by a team of dedicated volunteers (residents and students). Walk through provided by volunteers that can be signed up on Eventbrite.

A rich diversity of plants and little animals! Great place to explore Singapore biodiversity. Amazing what can come out from community garden efforts

Love climbing the steps up to the place. Give a great workout doing this. Good for nature photography

had a trip to the gardens today with a few friends and I must say, I was left in awe. Ganesh, took the trouble to explain each and every flower to us including its features, and characteristics which blew my mind.

At the end of the tour in the 9 storey garden, not only my mind was swimming knowledge in the arena of flora, the therapeutic effect left me superbly charged and calm for the rest of the day. As you'd have imagined, I grabbed a copy of the hand painted calendar as memory as well as a token to support Ganesh in maintaining the beauty of Mother Nature.

To all nature lovers out there, this place is a MUST VISIT. If beauty can be described in words, I would try but as they say the most beautiful things in the world can only be felt in the heart. You have to see it to believe it!

Just so you know, this is the only botanical garden or should I say the only place in the north of Singapore where Mother Nature flaunts her beauty, grace and abundance. Canopy trees give visitors all the shade they need, not to mention fresh air as they scour the landscape under the clear skies and lazy wind embracing each visitor in her arms. Simply, blissfully divine!

This is a free park that exceeds my expectation. Went there with mom as our daily walk program. At first, we thought it was only a small piece of land with plants on steps, but apparently there are more walking spaces up there.

An awesome garden patch that can make you forget you are in an urban jungle. There are quite a lot of plants and it is nice to go in the morning.

Very recommended, there are steps but it's friendly enough for active elderly.

Went down to a gem hidden in the heartlands today. I was amazed by the plethora of flowers. The garden is very well maintain, anyone interested in nature should definitely head down to take a look.

This is a hidden jem in Singapore. From the carpark you are not able to see the park as it is a few blocks away. This park is relatively big by Singapore standard and it is maintained by volunteers around the estate. If you like butterflies go in the morning between 9.30am to 11am. A good exercise walk uphill and around the park.

I enjoyed seeing the beautifully grown plants and trees, some not commonly found elsewhere. Saw lovely flowers in bloom with birds nesting on tree in full view and many butterflies fluttering around. An oasis for both nature and nature lovers.

Great place for meditation.

Looking for a park that has that "secret garden" feel? Want to see a thousand flowers, butterflies, bees and other lesser seen bugs? This garden is wonderfully curated but not overly manicured. It's also on a gentle incline if you like a little workout. Well worth a visit. We travelled from Redhill to experience this gorgeous gem of a garden.

Visited the garden today and got to talk with its creator Mr. Ganesh. He and the garden are national treasures. I was so surprised to learn that in such a small space there are more than 300 species thriving, relying on one another and buttressing local eco system. Because of this garden, some of the rarest species show up, like bird wing butterflies and fiery coral dragonflies, both have disappeared from our sights for long time. A great example of how community can makes a big difference for local species and biodiversity.

Woodlands Zone 8 RN - Our Happy Garden
Community Garden Interest Group

We happy to visit the Woodlands Botanical Garden. It was a fine Tuesday morning, we were greeted by the WBG's Chairman Mr Ganesh Kumar. Our Garden Leader and Garden Ambassadors were glad to see the beautiful garden rich with biodiversity. We manage to learn new things about flowers and groundcover plants. Got exclusive moment entering their new garden landscape where we see many kinds of species and cultivar plants suits to its garden theme growing unique specimens of ornamental plants. Hope to visit their up-coming events and activities there 😊

Jun'24 - great small hill for good exercise and sunset view. 💕💕💕

Present of Mind
Good Place to do the practice of YOGA

A great alternative to the typical manicured national gardens in Singapore. Expect the unexpected right in the middle of the heartlands!

I help garden at this place. I love it. The plants, the butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies are really pretty and enchanting. The flowers are very nice

Comfortable, relaxing and not many visitors

Beautiful well kept Gardens free to the public. This was a magnificent gardener that was open to the public at no charge. Garden are well marked and separated, different botanical plants, such as the scented garden.
They also had lakes and if one was lucky you could see the large monitor lizard .
They had a great many benches so long could sit and relax between walking and hiking in the gardens, which were many many acres in the middle of the city

It's hard to find words to describe such a wonderful place that's been cultivated from the ground up (literally) by a team of dedicated volunteers of all ages and demographics.

This place has so many different species of flowers from local to foreign, as well as numerous pollinators like endangered butterflies and bees. They also have other special features like fountains and well-lined walking paths. Though some might find it 'messy', it's actually very well organized and done with great respect for nature. There are different sections for people with different preferences - some more manicured and others more natural, to cater to the interests of many in the community. We went on a Saturday morning to find a big group of volunteers, many Republic Polytechnic students especially, helping to weed on a weekend morning, and got to talk to Ganesh whose efforts helped to 'seed' the entire project. A labor of love indeed 🙂

Additionally, they have volunteer opportunities, free community events, and are committed to sharing their knowledge and continuing to increase the habitat for local flora and fauna through what they're doing. Check out their Instagram @woodlandsbotanicalgarden for updates!

Good place for around residents all

Beautifully designed garden. Been here multiple times to view the various flowers!

A beautiful garden

Beautiful garden with a huge biodiversity of plants and insects. Great place for families to enjoy nature. Has a mini pond and bird sanctuary as well.

Amazing place.. came here for the first time as I stay in the west but it's really quite a hill and the garden below is well planned and planted!

Was amazed by this garden when I first visit. Many different spices plants & flowers in this hidden side of marsiling. I wish more people will know if this place & visit here. Almost every weekend I am volunteering there and enjoyed this therapy from this greens.
Cheers!!!

Very nice 👌👍👌👍 love 💗💗💗 too ❤️❤️❤️ Singapore

One of the very places in a residential areas that give one total tranquility, peace and calmness. A hidden gem that brings back memories of old Singapore where the neighbourhood was one, like the old kampung days.

Ganesh has reached out to so many people in his community through this garden. It's rich in biodiversity, you can find such a wide variety of flowers and insects here. It's a very beautiful place highly recommend a visit! Come early in the morning though, it gets pretty hot around 10am

Beautiful Garden! Worth the visit 🌸🌺🌻

Nice place to chill, many types of flowers attracting butterflies and a wide variety of life in the ecosystem. Proudly done by a resident

Stealing time to immerse in nature I was puzzled to learn that there is a botanical garden in Woodlands so during lunchtime, I went to search for it. I then found it at the hillside of Woodlands Town Park East beside Blk 133 Marsiling Rise. Few years back, I had climbed up Woodlands Town Park East but had never come across this comunity garden. Understand that it was started in July 2020 as a ground-up initiative. The 9-storey garden boasts an incredible biodiversity of more than 200 varieties of ornamental plants and many species of butterflies and birds.

The community garden is uniquely colourful studded with so many beautiful flowers on a `terraced' hillside. While the weather was scorching hot during noon, I was not much bothered by the sweat streaming down from my forehead. Instead, my focus was distracted by the beautiful butterlies that fluttered around the strikingly colorful flowers. Near to the base of the hill was a bird cage and you heard the birds chirping happily and seem not affected by my presence there.

I spent about half an hour here before continued my walk around the Woodlands Town Park East. Built in the 1970s, Woodlands Town Park East is a community park nestled on top of a hill approximately 30 m tall equivalent to a height of a 10 storey HDB block. The 5-hectare park is popular with the residents as a venue for exercise, picnicking and gardening. But there was not a single soul at the park when I was there during noon.

Some of the trees found in this park are the Rubber trees, Common Pulai and the Tembusu. I like to stroll along the small trail in the secondary forest as the vegetation on both sides of the trail were dense emitting fresh air and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

The whole morning I was sitting in front of the computer screen engrossed in my work. It was a great relief stealing time to immerse in nature appreciating the lush greenery and the pretty flowers. This `botanical garden' and the Woodlands Town Park East bring much peace and tranquillity to the mind and solace to the soul.

The garden is created on a slope which must have been very challenging. The gardeners have done a great job working with the slope and the results are amazing. The garden is full of colourful flowers which blossom gloriously, not only attracting the eyes of visitors from afar, but also benefitting pollinators like butterflies and bees. The paths are laid with bark mulch which make them comfortable to walk on and look natural. Today when I visited the garden, I saw a small pond being created. When the pond is completed, with aquatic plants and fishes, it should attract aquatic insects like dragonflies and provide essential drinking and bathing water for birds. When this happens, the ecology of the garden will become more balanced.
To me, a garden needs to be aesthetically pleasing and ecologically functioning. Woodlands Botanical Garden is one such garden.

If you are nature lover i am very sure you will love this place..have fitness area..can picnic here because have shelter..i love the rocks and the stair case go up to the hill and specially all the plants and flowers..

A unique garden built on hill that is not common in Singapore, the variety of floral and butterflies are amazing. For butterfly lovers visit during morning 8am to 10am is the best.

Beautiful hidden garden managed by residents. Probably one of a kind in Singapore. A must visit for garden lovers.

Really enjoy visiting this garden 🥰 The place is just so beautiful and I appreciate those who took the time to plant and maintain the garden. Definitely recommend people to visit! 🙌🏼

A hidden gem 💎 amongst a quiet neighbourhood. Woodlands botanical garden has a wide range of flowers and plants of different diversity which is really beautiful and breathtaking. With the sounds of water trickling to the sound of birds chirping one will be taken away to a new dimension. Will definitely come back to visit again!

Ganesh and team pour so much into this beautiful neighborhood retreat. Come and soak in the biodiversity made possible through careful curation and landscape design. Bravo!

Ganesh has reached out to so many people in his community through this garden. It's rich in biodiversity, you can find such a wide variety of flowers and insects here. It's a very beautiful place highly recommend a visit! Come early in the morning though, it gets pretty hot around 10am

Therapeutic experience It’s an amazing place with a plethora of flower and plant species. There are also wonderful butterflies which are such a treat to the eyes. I’d highly recommend the Woodlands Botanical garden to anyone who needs to heal their mind, body and spirit.

A Gorgeous Community Garden A little slice of paradise, nestled along a formerly barren hillside and now teeming with flowers, bees and butterflies.

Colourful flowers and butterflies.

A must visit for mature lovers
