Echoes of an epic battle and an ancient civilisation take centrestage at the 11^th edition of Tulipmania (梦幻郁金香) at Gardens by the Bay. Amidst a vibrant sea of 65,000 tulips stand wonders of history, such as a recreation of the legendary Trojan Horse from the Battle of Troy and Göbekli Tepe—the world’s oldest known temple and one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the late 20th century.

Both tulips and these historical icons have roots that can be traced back to the rich landscape of Türkiye. Presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Türkiye to Singapore, Tulipmania was officially launched today by Minister for Education Mr Chan Chun Sing. It will be on until May 12.

Gardens by the Bay CEO Mr Felix Loh said, “Gardens by the Bay offers a horticultural window to the world, and Tulipmania, our longest-running floral display, exemplifies this wonderfully. After all, the tulip’s appeal comes not just from its beauty, but also the different histories, cultures and time periods that it has lasted through. This year, we bring to visitors some truly fascinating icons of history which have roots in Türkiye – just like the tulip, whose origins can be traced to the steppes of Eastern Türkiye and Central Asia.”

Since 2013, Gardens by the Bay has showcased the tulip in myriad ways, from recreating the picturesque tulip fields of the Netherlands, to artistic interpretations of Van Gogh’s masterpieces using tulips, to showcasing its wild origins in Kazakhstan. Each edition of Tulipmania has offered visitors a new lens through which they can appreciate the flower.

Over 30 varieties of tulips of diverse colours and forms

The tulips on show in this year’s Tulipmania come in unusual forms and colour combinations. Some highlights include:

• Tulipa ‘Ballerina’, an elegant, lily-flowered variety with bright orange petals that flare outwards at the tips
• Tulipa ‘Pretty Woman’, which has bright red, goblet-shaped flowers with pointed petals
• Tulipa ‘White Liberstar’, a crown tulip whose elegant white petals gracefully curve outward, characterised by distinctive crown-shaped blooms that were originally the result of a genetic mutation

Tulips were first discovered along mountainous regions of Central Asia, and later rose to prominence during the Ottoman Empire, where they evolved into a symbol of affluence. Varieties that can be traced back to Türkiye often stand out with their distinctive pointed petals and vibrant, contrasting colours. This year’s Tulipmania showcases three such varieties:

• Tulipa acuminata, notable for its striking, narrow petals that mix yellow and red, evoking the appearance of flickering flames
• Tulipa ‘Go Go Red’, arresting for its slim, pointy petals in a striking red that emerge from a bright yellow centre
• Tulipa ‘Fly Away’, which has goblet-shaped flowers of pointed petals that are red but tinged with a yellow margin

The tulip palette is complemented by a variety of colourful blooms native to Türkiye, including hyacinths, fritillaria, hollyhocks and alliums, alongside chamomiles and dianthus.

Timeless treasures of history

Beyond the blooms, Tulipmania also pays tribute to Türkiye’s rich legacy. Visitors can take a journey through different points of its history through recreations of icons such as:

• Trojan Horse: Standing nearly 6m-tall, the recreation of the famed Trojan Horse tells the story of the clever ruse that led to the fall of the ancient city of Troy, which lies in modern-day Türkiye. According to legend, Greek soldiers hid inside the wooden horse to infiltrate the city, marking a pivotal moment that turned the tides in the Battle of Troy in their favour. A battleship that carried more soldiers to Troy complements the Trojan Horse.
• Göbekli Tepe: Recognised as the world's earliest known temple, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dates to around 9,600 BC, predating Stonehenge by some 6,000 years. It caused a global sensation when it was unearthed in the late 20th century and is considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of that period. The site features over 200 massive stone pillars arranged in both circular and rectangular formations, crafted by prehistoric people without the use of metal tools or pottery. The lack of residential remains suggests that Göbekli Tepe was a sacred site, dedicated to ceremonial worship
• Mardin Houses: These well-preserved houses on the mountainside in Mardin, known for their beige limestone construction, are one of Türkiye's most breathtaking destinations. Despite their medieval origins – they date back to 8,000 BC – the architecture of these beige limestone homes is ingenious, as no house blocks the view of another. Built to withstand the challenging climate, the homes feature walls up to 4m-wide with almost no windows.
• Pool of Abraham: Believed to be the site where Abraham, a patriarch revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, was miraculously saved from death by divine intervention. Abraham was thrown into a fire pit by King Nimrod for rejecting his gods, but the flames turned into water. The pool is now celebrated for its sacred fish, which are considered a symbol of this miracle. It is a site of pilgrimage visited by thousands every year.

Mosaic art by students and public workshops

Paying tribute to the wild origins of the tulip, a group of 24 students from Chua Chu Kang Secondary School’s art club tried their hand at the traditional Turkish art of mosaic making. The intricate process involved the students cutting up glass into smaller fragments and carefully piecing them together to form designs of Ottoman tulips and other floral motifs. The three beautiful mosaic artworks will be on display throughout the duration of Tulipmania for all visitors to enjoy.

Visitors can also participate in Ebru art workshops, where they can learn the traditional art of paper marbling by one of Turkiye’s finest Ebru masters on April 18 and April 19.  In addition, there is also an opportunity for visitors to win a pair of return air tickets from Singapore to any destination in Türkiye, sponsored by official airline partner Turkish Airlines.

With play structures inspired by the iconic Supertrees, the lovable Families for Life mascot Becky Bunny paired with a fun slide, and first-of-its-kind night-time illuminations, Singapore’s first family-themed destination playground is the highlight of the new PropNex Family Zone (博纳产业家庭互动区) at Gardens by the Bay.

This space dedicated to family fun features new and upgraded amenities, including an inclusive playground, an expanded Community Garden, an improved Event Lawn, as well as a Community Stage that will be ready in 2026. Conveniently located within walking distance of Bayfront MRT station, the PropNex Family Zone is also accessible via Gardens by the Bay’s shuttle service.

The PropNex Family Zone is made possible through a collaboration among the Community Chest Singapore, Families for Life, Gardens by the Bay, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), and PropNex. It was officially launched today by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Gan Kim Yong, together with Minister of State for Social and Family Development, Ms Sun Xueling.

This initiative builds on an earlier partnership in 2022 between Gardens by the Bay and MSF to develop the Family Zone as a legacy project for the Year of Celebrating Singapore Families. The PropNex Family Zone reflects a whole-of-society commitment to building a family-friendly Singapore, in line with the A Singapore Made for Families 2025 plan.

Gardens by the Bay CEO Mr Felix Loh said, “Gardens by the Bay is a People’s Garden, a place where families across generations can come together and create lasting memories amidst a verdant environment. In collaboration with likeminded partners such as the Community Chest Singapore, Families For Life, the Ministry of Social and Family Development, and PropNex, we have a beautiful green space with exciting new amenities where families can gather and bond. Beyond the public, we also aim to extend our outreach efforts and work with more social service agencies to host community events for beneficiaries, ensuring that Gardens by the Bay always remain an accessible public space for everyone.”

Families for Life Council Chairman Mr Ishak Ismail said, “The PropNex Family Zone is more than just a physical space – it’s a place where meaningful family memories are made. In today's fast-paced world, families need special spaces beyond their homes where they can slow down, connect and simply enjoy each other’s company. The vibrant new zone offers a dedicated space to play, learn, and bond. This collaboration is truly special and highlights our commitment to prioritising families. The PropNex Family Zone marks a step forward in recognising the value of strong family ties, giving parents and children more opportunities to build lasting relationships, one precious moment at a time.”  

PropNex Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr Ismail Gafoor said, “PropNex has always been about more than just real estate – we are about building communities and strengthening families. As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, the PropNex Family Zone is our way of giving back to bring families closer, foster intergenerational bonds and create lasting memories. We believe that by nurturing strong family connections, we are contributing to a stronger Singapore for generations to come.”

Highlights of the PropNex Family Zone

Taking centre stage is Singapore’s first family-themed playground designed with educational and inclusive play elements for all ages, abilities and needs. The highlight is a pair of 9m-tall towers inspired by Gardens by the Bay’s iconic Supertrees, which come alive at night with synchronised light illumination, while the sandpit lights up with creative light projections. These are first-of-their-kind features for a playground in Singapore, enhancing the evening experience.

Families for Life mascot Becky Bunny appears as a larger-than-life play structure with climbing elements and a slide. Other members of Becky Bunny’s multi-generational family also feature in the playground, adding dynamic and imaginative fun to the space. Through custom-built play equipment, children also learn more about family values of love, care and concern, commitment, and respect. 

The expanded Community Garden features an edible garden run entirely by volunteers. New raised planter beds and accessible paths now allow wheelchair users to participate, while the sheltered pavilion provides a space for small-group programmes. The adjacent Event Lawn has been redeveloped with well-drained turf, and together with an upcoming Community Stage to be built next year, will serve as a vibrant space for gatherings, performances, and events for Singaporeans to enjoy.

The PropNex Family Zone is a space for programmes and events to strengthen and celebrate families in Singapore. About 900 wedding solemnisations have already been held in the picturesque space, supported by the Registry of Marriages and Registry of Muslim Marriages. The Families for Life Council will continue to collaborate with social service agencies and more partners to use the space to hold more parenting and grandparenting programmes, workshops, and activities for families.

Members of the public can look forward to inclusive community events jointly organised by Gardens by the Bay and partner social service agencies, to cater to a diverse range of beneficiaries, including seniors and persons with special needs. A new initiative is Wellness Friday, a monthly programme which aims to promote mental health and active ageing among seniors through activities like therapeutic gardening and mental health talks, which had its first run last month. The programme is open to beneficiaries from social service agencies under Gardens by the Bay’s Gift of Gardens community outreach initiative.

Donation of Manolo Valdés’ Happy Life Sculpture

Today, DPM Gan also unveiled Happy Life, a vibrant sculpture by renowned Spanish artist Manolo Valdés, at the Meadow. The sculpture was contributed by private individual Ms Lee Tuan so that art is more accessible to more in the community. In Happy Life, Valdés combines vivid colours and intriguing geometric shapes to create an engaging visual experience. The sculpture invites viewers to reflect on the simple joys of everyday life.

Happy Life adds to Gardens by the Bay’s growing collection of world-class art, which already includes works by internationally acclaimed artists such as Kei-Chan by Yayoi Kusama; Planet by British contemporary artist Marc Quinn; and Ethereal White Persians by American glass sculptor Dale Chihuly.

The 10^th edition of Gardens by the Bay’s iconic Sakura (樱花展) floral display officially opens in Flower Dome today. To celebrate a decade of making cherry blossoms bloom in the tropics—this year’s floral display will showcase a record 440 cherry blossom trees spanning 48 varieties—the largest and most diverse collection yet. These stunning blooms are complemented by a myriad of Japanese-themed events and activities as well as Anime Garden (动漫花园), in the Gardens’ biggest Sakura festival ever.

Presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan in Singapore, the Sakura floral display showcases the hidden gems of Fukuoka Prefecture and will run until April 6. It was officially launched today by Senior Minister of State, Ministry of National Development & Ministry of Digital Development and Information Mr Tan Kiat How, along with Gardens by the Bay CEO Mr Felix Loh, and Charge d'affaires of the Embassy of Japan in Singapore Mr Hotta Toru.

Gardens by the Bay’s horticulturists first pushed horticultural boundaries to coax cherry blossoms to bloom in the tropics in March 2016. To this day, Flower Dome remains the only place in Singapore, and the only place in the tropics in the world, where visitors can experience the ephemeral beauty of so many cherry blossom varieties in a single setting.

Gardens by the Bay CEO Mr Felix Loh said, “Horticulturally, it is almost impossible to make cherry blossoms bloom in the tropics. Yet, through perseverance and innovation, the team at Gardens by the Bay has kept the Sakura floral display going strong for 10 years since 2016, with over two million visitors experiencing its beauty—making it one of our most beloved floral displays. As a home-grown icon, Gardens by the Bay is proud to celebrate the Singapore spirit in this SG60 year, where we embrace challenges, push boundaries, and turn ambition into reality.”

Cherry blossom highlights of 2025

Visitors can look forward to the most diverse showcase of cherry blossoms yet, featuring trees of both upright and weeping varieties, with petals in an array of white and pink hues.

A highlight of this year’s display is the Japanese weeping cherry, Prunus yedoensis Yoshino Shidare, a rare sight even in Japan. This tree is known for its gracefully cascading branches adorned with clusters of soft pink flowers.

Making its debut is the Japanese Hill Cherry, Prunus lannesiana Kawazu-zakura. Native to Japan, this striking variety stands out with its large, vibrant blooms that range from deep pink to an almost reddish hue—distinct from the typically pastel-coloured cherry blossoms.

Crowd favourite Prunus Accolade, a mainstay since the floral display first began in 2016, also returns. Known for its abundant clusters of pale pink blooms, this beloved variety continues to captivate visitors year after year.

Uncovering the hidden gems of Fukuoka Prefecture

This year, Fukuoka Prefecture’s seamless blend of rich traditions and modern creativity is on show. Amidst the sea of pink and white blooms stands a recreation of the historic Kokura Castle in the city of Kitakyushu, accompanied by 130 enchanting bamboo lanterns specially brought in from the city’s annual Takeakari Bamboo Lantern Festival. These lanterns are crafted from bamboo harvested from abandoned forests in Kitakyushu—a sustainable initiative that not only mitigates the environmental impact of fast-growing bamboo but also engages citizen volunteers in creating lanterns for the festival.

As night falls, these lanterns will illuminate Flower Dome, as part of the yozakura (night Sakura) experience, which is back for the second time. The lanterns complement the centrepiece of the yozakura experience this year, the recreation of the city of Fukuoka’s striking light installation, the 5.6m-tall Phantom Castle—an artistic interpretation of a castle tower that is said to have once existed.

There will also be craft items iconic of Fukuoka Prefecture specially on loan from Japan, such as the Hakata and Tsuyazaki dolls, Kokura textiles and Magoji kite.

This year’s Sakura display is supported by The Japan Council for Local Authorities of International Relations (J.CLAIR), JCB International Co., Ltd., All Nippon Airways (ANA), and Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Singapore (JCCI).

Free Japanese cultural activities to complete the celebrations

The splendid burst of cherry blossoms was complemented by an array of free Japanese-themed events and activities both in the indoors and outdoors, as well as Anime Garden at Supertree Grove. Anime Garden, which is on March 8 and 9, is an anime fiesta featuring free concerts by anisong artistes, appearances by celebrity cosplayers, traditional matsuri (festival) games and more.

Visitors can look forward to upcoming tea ceremony demonstrations in Flower Dome on the weekends of March 15 and 16, and March 22 and 23. For more details, visit www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/sakura.

More than 60 taxa of stunning orchids, including those from Thailand or with origins that can be traced to Thai species, will be showcased in Cloud Forest’s new floral display – Orchids from the Land of Smiles (微笑之国兰花展). The floral display, which is presented in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy of Singapore, takes place in the year of 60 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Thailand, as well as SG60.

Orchids from the Land of Smiles is the first event of 2025 where we also celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations with countries through various garden-themed collaborations with Gardens by the Bay. Visitors can look forward to a special series of such events throughout the year.

The floral display was launched today by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development Ms Indranee Rajah, together with Ambassador of Thailand to Singapore Her Excellency Mrs Ureerat Chareontoh and Assistant CEO of Gardens by the Bay Ms May Yeo.

Gardens by the Bay Assistant CEO Ms May Yeo said, “Singaporeans have a longstanding and warm relationship with Thailand, whose culture has always been a source of fascination. Gardens by the Bay serves as a floral window to the world, and in our first Thai-themed orchid display, we worked with the Royal Embassy of Thailand to weave in many familiar elements of Thai culture that have been intricately recreated by Thai artisans. Against this stunning backdrop, we introduce exquisite Thai orchids, which our horticulturists were inspired by Thai landscaping techniques to put together in organic and naturalistic ways.”

Orchids set against a backdrop rich with Thai culture

The blooms on show include iconic vandaceous orchids of the country such as Vanda, Rhynchostylis and Aranda, as well as diverse groups of Dendrobium.

Highlights of the Orchids from the Land of Smiles include:

• Dendrobium Snowflake ‘Red Star’: A cross between Dendrobium Cassiope and Dendrobium nobile, this traces its lineage to Dendrobium nobile, a key species in its ancestry. Dendrobium nobile is well known for its cane-like growth habit, deciduous nature, and ability to produce clusters of fragrant, long-lasting flowers along its stems.
• Paphiopedilum exul: The species epithet exul originates from the Latin word meaning “exiled” or “banished”, reflecting its geographical isolation from its close relative, Paphiopedilum insigne. Initially classified as a variety of Paphiopedilum insigne, it was later recognized as a distinct species. Endemic to the eastern shores of the Phuket-Krabi Gulf in Peninsular Thailand, it flourishes in rock crevices at elevations of up to 50m.
• Rhynchostylis gigantea: First described in the 1920s by botanist and orchidologist, Carl Blume, the Rhynchostylis genus is known for its distinctive spicy fragrance. Its inflorescence, a closely packed spray of orchids tapering like a fox's bushy tail, is a hallmark feature. The unique colour forms and long, tapering inflorescence have captivated collectors worldwide, making it a highly sought-after species in the orchid community because of their varieties.
• Vanda Somsri Blue Classic: A cross between Vanda Somsri Pink and Vanda coerulea – the famous Blue Vanda – this hybrid showcases large, vibrant purple flowers, enhancing its ornamental appeal.

Thai orchids have developed certain characteristics to cope with a wide range of habitats and attract pollinators. In Thailand, landscaping practices tend to leverage on these characteristics, which Gardens by the Bay’s horticulturists were inspired by.

For instance, vandaceous orchids are mostly epiphytes that grow on tree trunks, with long aerial roots that draw moisture and nutrients from the air. To best exhibit their trailing roots, they are mounted on tree trunks creating an organic visual flow. Meanwhile dendrobiums, with their arching flower sprays and clusters of flowers along their canes, are used to design a mass of colourful, eye-catching blooms. This composition highlights their natural growth habit, by emphasising the way they are carefully mounted or planted.

They are on show against a sweeping backdrop of legends and cultural icons of Thailand – intricate recreations which were hand carved by a team of award-winning sculptors who flew in specially from the country to work on the pieces at Gardens by the Bay. These include the Royal Pantheon, a landmark of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace in Bangkok, built to honour the kings of the Chakri dynasty; the revered serpent the naga which represents the connection between humanity and the divine; and majestic yakshas – the mythical guardians from the Ramakien epic.

A verdant celebration of 60 years of international diplomatic relations with Singapore

Many of the countries who are commemorating 60 years of diplomatic relations with Singapore in 2025 will be collaborating with Gardens by the Bay on a line-up of diverse events that aim to share aspects of their culture with Singaporeans.

These events will include some of the changing floral displays in Flower Dome, such as Lilytopia with Italy, Rose Romance with the United Kingdom, Orchid Extravaganza featuring Malaysia, Sunflower Surprise with India and the Christmas Train Show featuring Denmark.

More details will be released soon.

More than 23,000 plants such as moth orchids, kalanchoes, and cyclamens were painstakingly inserted by hand, plant by plant, to form a dramatic 4.5m-tall, 26m-long living sculpture of Madam White Snake – the centrepiece of Gardens by the Bay’s Chinese New Year floral display Spring Blossoms (春花盛开之白蛇传).

Spring Blossoms was launched by Minister for Health Mr Ong Ye Kung, Gardens by the Bay CEO Mr Felix Loh, Gardens by the Bay Board Director Mr Eugene Wong, and the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Singapore His Excellency Cao Zhongming in Flower Dome today. The floral display runs until February 23.

Spring Blossoms is inspired by the Legend of the White Snake – one of China’s four great folklores, which tells the story of the love between a mortal man, Xu Xian, and a female snake spirit, Bai Suzhen, also known as Madam White Snake. This beloved tale is brought to life through mosaiculture – a complex horticultural art form that uses plants to create visually stunning living sculptures – in collaboration with leading Chinese landscaping company Beijing Florascape.

Putting together the floral display took about two weeks and involved cross-border collaboration between 33 horticulturists from both Gardens by the Bay and Beijing Florascape. An expert in mosaiculture, Beijing Florascape is also behind large-scale 3D floral installations for major China events such as the annual National Day floral displays at Tiananmen Square and the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Gardens by the Bay CEO Felix Loh said, “The enduring tale of Legend of the White Snake has themes of love, family, friendship, and filial piety, as well as overcoming challenges to achieve a happy ending. This Chinese New Year, we hope visitors will not only marvel at the showstopping floral artistry that Beijing Florascape has brought to Singapore, but also reflect on the timeless themes of love, resilience, and new beginnings that the Chinese New Year represents.”

The beauty of mosaiculture and other highlights

In addition to the sculpture of Madam White Snake, mosaiculture also features in other elements of the floral display, such as the Green Snake Xiaoqing, who is Madam White Snake’s loyal friend, and Jixian Pavilion, one of the iconic landmarks in Hangzhou’s West Lake. In total, more than 31,000 plants were used in all the mosaiculture elements.

Over 1,000 dahlias, all grown in-house, will also be showcased, including five new varieties. After all, dahlias symbolise prosperity and new beginnings, and are a hallmark of Gardens by the Bay’s Chinese New Year floral displays. Among the new varieties are Dahlia Buga Munchen 2005, a semi-cactus dahlia with a glowing yellow centre and vibrant magenta-pink petals rolled halfway to create a striking starburst-like effect, and Dahlia Maldini, a decorative variety with large deep pink blooms that develop delicate white tips as they mature.

There is also a 7m-tall replica of Leifeng Pagoda, where Madam White Snake was trapped as punishment for her love for a mortal man. Displayed within are two intricately crafted wooden models of Chinese pagodas on loan from the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM). These pagodas are part of a historic set of 84 pagodas showcased in ACM’s Pagoda Odyssey 1915: From Shanghai to San Francisco exhibition, and for a limited time, Flower Dome ticket holders can enjoy complimentary entry to the exhibition at ACM. 

The floral display also features a zodiac snake sculpture in a tribute to the Year of the Snake, and paper umbrellas, a reference to how in the story, Xu Xian and Madam White Snake had shared an umbrella on a rainy day. The items are on show courtesy of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Singapore, who is commemorating 35 years of Singapore-China diplomatic relations this year.

Other Chinese New Year events at Gardens by the Bay

To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, calligraphers from Peking University’s Calligraphy Education and Research Center will be writing spring couplets for visitors in Flower Dome. The free two-day event will take place on the opening weekend of Spring Blossoms on January 18 and 19 from 10am to 11.30am, or until supplies run out.

In the outdoors, River Hongbao returns to Gardens by the Bay for its fifth edition from January 27 to February 5 with vibrant lantern displays, captivating performances, an array of fun carnival games, and on the first three nights – firecrackers! There will also be a special exhibition that delves into the poignant tradition of early Chinese migrants sending remittance letters back home, which provides a window into the bonds of family that endured across generations and through distance.

Record number of Flower Dome floral displays in 2025

Gardens by the Bay welcomed a record-breaking 14.5 million visitors in 2024 – the highest number since it opened in 2012. To thank visitors for their support and to celebrate SG60 alongside the nation, Gardens by the Bay will present nine floral displays in the Flower Dome this year – the highest number since 2012.

Kicking off the celebrations is Spring Blossoms, followed by the iconic Sakura floral display in March, and then other floral displays featuring popular blooms such as tulips, lilies, roses and more. Each floral display will also incorporate rich cultural elements from around the world, including contributions from countries who will be marking 60 years of bilateral relations with Singapore this year.
