This weekend's flora and fauna weekend for dearest and myself. We didn't exactly plan specifically for a "back to nature" weekend, but plans somehow worked themselves out.
So day one's about the Singapore Garden Festival 2008, happening at the Suntec Convention Centre. I haven't been to any such festivals before, so it was a good experience. The displays were anything but conventional and pretty impressive I must say.
Spanning 2 levels (Level 4 and Level 6), the festival venue is rather huge and will possibly take some time to cover if you're a detailed exhibition-goer. The majority of the crowd (when we were there) were senior citizens, foreign tourists and landscape designers (even the designers of the works themselves). I think it's a great place for the young to visit too!
Here's the administration:
Dates: 25th July - 1st August (Try to go earlier, as the flowers may start to wither towards the end of the exhibition - according to dearest).
Time: 10am - 10pm
Venue: Suntec Convention Centre
And here's what everyone's concerned about. Here's what the exhibition will set you back by:
Adult:
Weekday - $6
Weekend - $12
(You'll notice the explicit price difference, so it doesn't take a genius to figure out when are the best days to visit.)
Concession (Child, Students & Senior Citizens):
Weekday - $3
Weekend $5
There are further discounts for passion card/ ntuc union card members, even on concession admission tickets.

We took many pictures and here's a sample of what you'll get. I'm not posting everything online for one main reason - so you won't be a cheapskate and "visit" the festival by blog-hopping. You get what I mean. =)
Note: I apologize for the large resolutions. I uploaded the files under the wrong setting and hence the long load time. Will change to 320 x 200 for future posts.
