You heard us correctly. Gardens by the Bay (GBTB) is selling displaying daily fruits and vegetables in it’s lush Flower Dome, themed “Sugar Mountain”.
Normally, we will associate cabbage and tomato with wet market (read our AMK trip), what a refreshing change π
Christmas Sugar Mountain tells the story about a pineapple boy and straweberry girl π
To quote from GBTB and designer Kazuyuki Ishihara:
Stemming from Ishihara’s belief in the power of food to bridge the disparities in society, the display features two characters – a pineapple boy called “Ananas” and a strawberry girl “Berry“. Both have to live apart because of their different growing conditions until one day when they stumble upon a garden with a special mountain that provides for all their needs. In this paradise of theirs, they build a home and live happily ever after.
Fruits everywhere, if we had come a few days earlier, we might be tempted to pluck the strawberries :p
We found a cosy corner near California, our Lollipop corner π
Peep-a-Flyer, behind thick foliage.
Christmas accessories and salad-ingredients side by side, where is our salad bowl?
Kids were busy trying to spot the next Tomato, Pineapple or green capsicum !
Next to us was a group of senior citizens on a community visit, and all the aunties were happily remarking about Gardens’ rich produce.
Love this plot of green leafy lettuce. Is it organic?
We can smell Christmas spirit everywhere.
This cute truck is the center of attraction.
Let us tell you more about Ananas and Berry π
Reindeers were spotted ushering in the festive month.
Hello Maple leaf
Families would enjoy celebrating Christmas at GBTB.
We pop by Cloud Forest again, whose Waterfall never fail to amaze us.
From the top, we can spot Far East Organisation (FEO) playground ! FEO playground is slated to open in 2014Jan, and we will share why this playground rocks in another post.
+5 Degrees, kids have a better understanding of global warming and it’s effect.

Wow, another great Gardens Angel adventure! Visited GBTB early this year, I found +5 Degrees visual tour to be really educational and unique experience. Seems like you are getting pretty busy this December holi. π

hi Rendell,
it always amaze me how GBTB chnage their flower-bed at FlowerDome every Season π
Lovely photos. π Must be a very fruity trip in the conservatories. My kids love the Cloud forest most and you can easily guess why. π

If only we are allow to pluck the lettuce and fruits, that would be a most memorable experience. If only…
wow, cool didn’t know GBTB had these ‘live’ fruits. I think its important for kids to see how fruits are grown, as many grow up seeing only the packaged form in supermarkets and are clueless to the efforts needed in cultivating vegetables/fruits.

Seasonal, Seth.
Some friends are pondering whether Durians will also appear next π
Kids and older-folks are impressed.
Great photos Andy! If only they allowed us to pick the fruits! I remember going strawberry picking with my family when I was young in South Africa. Insanely fun! And one of the best strawberries I ever had!

Thanks Natalie π
Everyone very well behaved, no one laid a hand on the fruits.
We can lean closer and smell the pineapple and strawberry though haha π
