Bonsai in Singapore

Post by joannm »

As we only took 400 photos of Bonsai in Singapore , I thought I would share with you the one that stood out from the crowd.
Well actually , many of them stood out , but when you look this good DEAD ,you deserve the red carpet .

And would you mind giving out the address' of any you visited, please. I visited Singapore earlier this year and wasn't able to find any Bonsai, other than the Chinese Gardens.

places we went to are as follows.

Bonsai Gallery -- 24 Bah Soon Pah Road ------- 300 to 400 trees
Chengtai Nursery- 51 Sungei Tengah Road ------ here they took us around on a golf cart. otherwise we would have been there all day.
Chinese Gardens -- ------ 1000 trees , but only half was open as they are fixing the place up.
Boh's Bonsai --- 16 Pasir Ris Farmway 2 ...------- about 250 trees

We did hire a car , even though nothing is over 25 minutes away. But it was worth it as you will not find them otherwise.make sure you have sat nav that is up to date.

hope you find them all next time

As usual if anyone knows any more nurseries that belong here then please let us know and we can add them ( or just create an account and add them yourself) :-)

Small display in their botanical gardens as well, but I was not that impressed. Perhaps about 50 trees if memory serves.
