What do our Staff say?
Ow Siew Ngim
Arborist & Director (Streetscape)
“Every day is an adventure. Being able to learn new things is what I like best about my job. I even managed to overcome my fear of heights to take up tree climbing, as I was inspired to become a good arborist. Today, I can proudly say that I am a certified tree climber. You don’t need to be a horticultural expert to join NParks – most of my plant knowledge was gained while on the job. What’s most important is your passion and your positive attitude to learn.”

Having a love for both people and plants, it brings me much joy to create these landscapes and then share with visitors about the rare and exquisite plants we have conserved."

- Contribute towards the conservation of endangered orchid species
- Oversee the design and implementation of landscapes to showcase new or rare orchids
- Enthuse the community about the significance of orchids and their conservation
- Select the types of orchids to create beautiful displays in the Singapore Botanic Gardens

Yeoh Yi Shuen
Manager (Horticulture and Community Gardening)
“Plant conservation work is both an art and a science. While scientific knowledge and technical know-how are essential to ensure plants are identified accurately and grown in suitable conditions, it’s also an art in how and what native plants we decide to introduce into parks, nature reserves and our streetscapes. This intangible ‘human touch’ encourages people to feel immersed in nature and learn about our rich biodiversity.”

Job Log:
- Test innovative methods and conduct trials to optimise plant propagation success
- Study and propagate threatened native plants
- Cultivate native plants to be introduced to parks and conservation areas
- Contribute to the recording of threatened plants in Singapore
