Bits of our heritage hidden behind greenery

This park features statues of Chinese folklore, legends and
mythology and plays an important role in preserving our
cultural heritage

3rd  stop
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
This place allows us to enjoy what the “garden
city” has to offer! It also builds relationships as
many people from different walks of life come
here for a walk HAHA (sorry about my very bad
sense of humour)

These gardens enhance harmony and fosters
a common sense of belonging and identity
within communities
Community Gardens 🌱

hallmark of success more distinctive and more
meaningful than achieving our position as the cleanest

That’s the end of my journey!
I have learnt so much about how the greenspaces
around us contribute to our identity! We must make
all efforts to preserve our natural heritage so that the
future generations can appreciate the greenspaces in
Singapore !
