Income

The Board's income comprised mainly of rental income from souvenir kiosks and food & beverage outlets in Singapore Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning Park. The income for the year was $13.9 million. The 14% increase over last year's income was mainly due to the increase in course fees for the courses run by Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology (CUGE), and income for the biennial Singapore Garden Festival.
