Evolution Garden is the newest attraction to the Singapore Botanic Garden which occupy 1.5 hectares.  You could learn from the Evolution Garden how plants support the eco-systems, how long have arrived amd how they evolve into the various shapes and forms that we see today.   It can be an educational journey for the whole family – old or young.
