Happy Place, Happy Space
It was good fun to run through the gardens this week, viewing the many trees brought in & decorated for the festive season.
Trees of the World 2021 (i)s a collaboration with the community to bring festive joy and cheer to all, while raising funds for the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The trees on display at the Gardens will be decorated by donors, beneficiaries and members of public… (After this event), the trees will be planted in nature reserves, parks and gardens across Singapore in support of our OneMillionTrees movement.

The display that made me gawk is this one from O2 Plants (also shown in the Feature photo)
What do you think/feel about it?

Hi Ju-Lyn, I had to laugh out loud when I saw your headless Santa. It’s very bizarre! I love the garden, though and it would be great to do something in our Woodlake Botanical Garden to celebrate the seasons. Kiwanis does well just to keep out the weeds and trim the roses. ๐ But this is really a fun post to see.

We wondered in the past what they did with all these trees – now we know, and we are glad.

It does – we went “chasing” these trees a couple of times this week, for a different experience at different times of day.
