A Trip to Botanic Garden

We went to Botanic Garden on 8 June 08... It's an interesting place to visit. We had a walk around the garden, took some pictures and enjoyed a peaceful afternoon at this place.

Look at this ... a hole in a tree. I doubt we can see this kind of tree in our parks.

Look at the aloe vera. It's so big!

These are frangipani trees. Look at the branches - they look like trees from the fairy tales! That's my brother, William, posing! Welcome to my Enchanted Garden!

There's a story behind this tree - The story of 100 year old Giant.

"On one stormy day in 202, a giant tree at Singapore Botanic Gardens was struck by lightning. It slowly died. In memory of this majestic giant, the trunk was conserved. It was moved here in 2007. Around the trunk are parts of large roots from other tropical trees. These are arranged to create an area for hide and seek".

Hide and seek?? I doubt so. I think it's more for the elves? Dwarfs??

Spending a weekend at this garden is something different from the places that we went to with the kids. Not so crowded... no shopping, no noisy music, etc.. just trees, plants and families with kids.

After walking around for some time, we had a rest at the cafe at the garden entrance. Look at this pair - Angeline taking her drinks while Regi looks so tired. Haha.
