Christmas at Gardens By the Bay


Gardens By The Bay has joined in the festive spirit and decorated the Flower Dome, in a display called "Christmas Sugar Mountain". 
This display has been designed by an award-winning landscape designer, Kazuyuki Ishihara, a multiple gold medallist at the Chelsea Flower Show. Ishihara's display tells the story of the power of food to bridge the inequality in society.
The display features two characters - a pineapple boy called "Ananas" and a strawberry girl "Berry". Ananas and Berry live apart because of their different growing requirements but one day when they stumble upon a garden with a special mountain that provides for all their needs. In this magical garden, they build a home and live happily ever after. The display features many edible produce such as pumpkins, capsicums and tomatoes.
Also featured in the Flower Dome are Christmas trees created from Air-plants and Poinsettias as well as informational signs on the traditions of Christmas.
