Although best known as a sprawling metropolis; most visitors to Singapore marvel at the greenness of it all.Wide boulevards shaded by venerable Rain Trees; interconnecting parks displaying a huge variety of tropical plants; roadside plantings in every shade of green; red and yellow; and great expanses of junglescape alongside the office skyscrapers and apartment blocks. It is truly a garden city; in all senses of the word.In this travel pictorial; the authors showcase many of the Lion Citys green spaces; be they the Botanical Gardens and national parks; or plantings of bougainvillea tumbling down the crashndash;barriers on the superndash;highways. Orchard Road; the worldndash;renowned Zoological Gardens; the groundndash;breaking Mandai Orchid Gardens; and many more; are portrayed; along with other lesserndash;known parks and private and hotel gardens.Sumptuous fullndash;colour photographs by Luca Invernizzi Tettoni and texts by botanical expert William Warren literally take one down the garden path on a discovery tour of Singapores cityscapes; landscapes; hardscapes and few remaining "wildndash;scapes."
