Dating back to 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens is one of the oldest parks in Singapore. On 4 July 2015, Singapore Botanic Gardens was declared Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, therefore joining the ranks of the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu.
In 1859, Singapore Botanic Gardens was developed by an Agri-Horticultural Society, and later handed over to the government in 1874. From an ornamental garden with roads, terraces, a band parade area and even a small zoo, it has evolved into a leading equatorial botanic garden of 74 hectares, where major world crops, such as rubber and orchids were launched.
