🎧 Listen to Introduction

Located in the heart of Singapore, this site showcases the development of a British colonial tropical botanic garden into a modern, world-class scientific institution for conservation and education. The cultural landscape includes a rich collection of historical features, plants and buildings, showcasing the development of the botanic garden since its creation in 1859. Since 1875, it has been an important centre for science, research and plant conservation in Southeast Asia, particularly in the cultivation of rubber plantations.
