Guess what the Singapore Rhododendron, Singapore Adenia and Singapore Walking-stick Palm have in common? They are all named after Singapore and are plants that are native to our little island! In fact, more than 2200 species of native plants have been recorded for Singapore ever since that fateful day in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles stepped foot on our shores. You may be surprised to know that some of these plants are still commonly encountered in daily life and may even be growing in your home. Through this talk, you will learn more about the significance of native plants and be introduced to some fascinating and delightful Singapore native plant species, including their uses and tips on cultivation.
All are welcome.
