For the uninitiated, the Singapore Garden Festival (or SGF) happens every two years, and it’s a showcase of some of the most exotic flowers, international variants of plants, and other garden-related stuff.

The organizers are in no mood to slow down, doubling up in terms of magnitude when compared to the previous edition. The festival is going to take up 10 hectares, which is extremely vast for a garden festival!
