Jurong Lake Gardens
Two 1970s gardens and a swamp forest grown back from a concrete drain, stitched into 90 hectares in the west. Treat it as three outings sharing a postcode.

Singapore Botanic Gardens
A UNESCO site, a tree off the five-dollar note and more plant labels than anyone could read in a day. Pick one thread, go early and leave the rest for next time.
