Best of Show Designer Gardens competition: Fantasy Garden and Landscape Garden
The Best of Show Designer Gardens competition will feature 12 Landscape Gardens and Fantasy Gardens, where designers will be paired with local Implementing Partners to execute their display.
These gardens include some pretty amazing displays on the 6th floor.
Returning to defend their 2022 Gold Award, “Best of Show” and “Best Construction” titles are uncle and nephew designer duo from Singapore, Eliam Eng and Andy Eng. The pair will be participating in the Landscape Garden category.
The Republic of Korea (ROK) and Thailand will be represented in this Singapore Garden Festival competition for the first time, with designers Hwang Ji-Hae from ROK and Sanitas Pradittasnee from Thailand.
The Floral Windows to the World Championship
For this year’s Singapore Garden Festival, The Floral Windows to the World Championship will feature a new competition format. 18 international floral designers representing 18 respective countries will be vying for the title of Grand Champion through executing six challenging tasks over three days.
Visitors can look forward to a live competition element during the first three days of the Festival from 3 to 5 August 2024 when designers will execute a series of six tasks in front of judges and visitors to create their masterpieces from scratch, competing for the title of Grand Champion.
Balcony Gardens Competition
Just because space is a premium in Singapore doesn’t mean that we can’t maximise the space we have for greenery. The Balcony Gardens Competition will offer inspiration for apartment dwellers on incorporating greenery into their homes and transforming their balconies into soothing retreats for the senses.
Singapore Gardeners’ Cup
The Singapore Gardeners’ Cup, a friendly challenge for local community gardening groups to co-create thematic garden displays and now into its seventh edition, will also be back at the Singapore Garden Festival.
This year, the theme is ‘Botanical Fun’. Look forward to viewing creative creations that feature a variety of tropical plants with an emphasis on sustainability.
Gardening groups from the five districts in Singapore have partnered staff from NParks, landscape architects, and implementing partners to develop one show garden for each district for this challenge.
