Editor's Note

Hello to the second half of 2016!

We have been super busy working on the recently concluded Singapore Garden Festival 2016. Now into its sixth edition, it was bigger and more colourful, dazzling some 400,000 visitors with its world-class floral displays and top-notch exhibits. Missed it? Our volunteer at the Festival shares ideas from the festival you can adopt to bring more greenery into your lives.

We also invite you to look at Marine Cove with refreshed eyes. Most of us have fond memories enjoying happy meals with family and friends there, and it’s now back, with a family-friendly playground and multiple dining options.

If you are looking ahead to the end of the year, you are not alone. Many of our feathered friends are flying into Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, to escape the coming winter months in the Northern hemisphere. Make a trip there to catch these special visitors to Singapore.

As you rush along, always make time to enjoy nature and the greenery around us!
