Gardens by the Bay Poinsettia Wishes

A diversity of programmes for the community

These activities are part of the year-end celebrations at Gardens by the Bay, in the hope of rounding off the year on a sweet note for the community.

The virtual snow globe-making workshops are part of Gardens by the Bay’s community outreach programme Gift of Gardens, which reaches out to the less privileged and those with special needs through the contributions of individual and corporate donors. These virtual workshops, which will take place throughout the months of December this year and January next year, will extend to close to 800 beneficiaries from six social service agencies and community partners.

Adding on to the festive atmosphere is a diverse series of complimentary music performances and activities for the public to enjoy through the month of December.

There will be Finnish Santa meet-and-greet sessions with the public in collaboration with the Embassy of Finland, a musical performance in partnership with the Norwegian Cultural Centre, and a St Lucia choir performance by the Swedish Women’s Educational Association International, Inc.

Visitors can also celebrate Christmas with a difference by supporting performers such as visually-impaired musician Adelyn Koh and The Salvation Army Band. These performances are supported by Tote Board and National Arts Council.

Complementing the festive experience at the Gardens are workshops that the public can sign up for, ranging from Christmas wreath making and floral arrangements, to botanical watercolour art and nature weaving.

As a tribute to healthcare workers, Gardens by the Bay is partnering with Temasek Foundation to offer discounted entry into Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Healthcare workers can spend time with their loved ones and purchase up to four tickets at 50 per cent off, for visits from 13 December 2021 to end March 2022.

Gardens by the Bay Deputy CEO Lee Kok Fatt said, “With 2021 being a challenging year for everyone, Gardens by the Bay hopes to uplift the spirits with a light-hearted and joyful Poinsettia Wishes floral display, which Singaporeans can enjoy with their SingapoRediscovers vouchers, along with other attractions within the Gardens. We are also pleased to partner with Temasek Foundation to offer our healthcare workers special rates to the cooled conservatories as a show of appreciation for their hard work. Together with the diversity of fun activities for the community, we look forward to capping off the year on a sweet note for one and all.”

Families with children can also look forward to Singapore’s biggest festive event Christmas Wonderland, which will make a return this year on December 3 with a new array of stunning light displays and festive offerings at Supertree Grove, and a bouncing good time at Jumptopia: Wonder Garden, a fun-filled experience by Kiztopia that will open at Bayfront Pavilion on 20 December 2021.
