HortPark
HortPark is a one-stop gardening resource hub that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. It also serves as a knowledge centre on plants and gardening, providing planting ideas and solutions, and offering a platform for the horticulture industry to share best practices and showcase garden designs, products and services.
There are many things to do at HortPark:
Gardening – A spread of gardening activities awaits you! Nurture your green thumbs at our numerous gardening workshops or even contribute to the greenery through Volunteer Gardening at HortPark.
Family Fun – Families will be delighted by the cheerful display of blooms and garden features throughout the themed gardens in the park. Children will love exploring the Pitter Patter Potter Garden with its vibrant colours and a playground to top off the fun.
Photography – Nature photography enthusiasts will be in for a sweet treat at the Butterfly Garden while other locations such as the themed gardens are popular with wedding photoshoots.
Walking and Jogging – Linking Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park, HortPark is a favourite for joggers in early mornings and evenings.
Come visit the various themed gardens and nature playgarden, participate in guided tours and workshops, or even volunteer with us. We also have a school programme called the Eco-Learning Programme to initiate gardening awareness and nature appreciation among young children. Our signature event - Gardeners' Day Out is lined up with gardening and lifestyle activities for everyone.
