Flower Dome
South East
Located within the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, the Flower Dome is the world's largest columnless glasshouse, spanning approximately 1.2 hectares. Designed by WilkinsonEyre and Grant Associates, it replicates a cool-dry Mediterranean climate and features a diverse collection of exotic flowers and plants from five continents. The dome includes eight themed gardens such as the Baobabs, Succulent Garden, Australian Garden, South African Garden, South American Garden, Olive Grove, California Garden, and the Mediterranean Garden, each highlighting unique flora adapted to semi-arid environments. The Flower Dome is part of a larger conservatory complex that emphasizes sustainable building technologies, including rainwater collection and energy-efficient cooling systems integrated with the iconic Supertrees. This attraction not only offers a visual feast of horticultural artistry but also serves as an educational space promoting environmental awareness. As a key feature of the Bay South Garden, the Flower Dome contributes to Singapore's vision of transforming into a "City in a Garden," enhancing urban greenery and quality of life.
