Garden by the Bay’s annual spring blossom display returns this March with Sakura featuring Hello Kitty Floral Display, along with exciting promotions and a series of “green” workshops such as Air Plant Madness and Plant Propagation to keep the little ones occupied during the school holidays!
Walk through the torii gates and enter a Japanese landscape to admire the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms, also known as sakura, this season. The elegant Japanese red-crowned cranes or Tancho grace the Flower Field this spring alongside pink blossoms of sakura and momo (peach blossoms).
Adding kawaii vibes to the hanami or flower viewing tradition is popular character Hello Kitty, who is making a special appearance here at Flower Dome for the first time ever!
Stroll alongside Hello Kitty as she takes you on her ideal flower viewing itinerary, from posing beside rickshaws to locating the best spot for nodate – an outdoor tea ceremony. Before you leave, be inspired by the Japanese art of fabric wrapping – furoshiki, with a picnic spread laid out!
Date: From Monday, 1 March
Time: 9am – 9pm
Details: Admission charge to Flower Dome applies. Visit www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/sakura for details.
