Being one of a largest Garden in Singapore, Garden by the Bay has been a strategy of Singaporean Government to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
This park consists of threen waterfront gardens : Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden

The overall concept of its master plan draws inspiration from an Orchid as it is representative of the tropics and of Singapore being the country's of National flower,The orchid takes root at the waterfront (conservatories), while the leaves (landforms), shoots (paths, roads and linkways) and secondary roots (water, energy and communication lines) then form an integrated network with blooms (theme gardens and supertrees) at key intersections.
