Join our volunteer guides as they take you on a tour to explore the ins and outs of the Singapore Botanic Gardens’ very own Seed Bank. Opened on 13 July 2019, the Singapore Botanic Gardens Seed Bank is a conservation, research and education facility in the Singapore Botanic Gardens that focuses on conserving plant species by preserving the seeds and germplasm of plants in Southeast Asia. The Seed Bank has an interpretive gallery that introduces the Seed Bank and explains its importance to plant conservation and research in Singapore and the region, as well as a seed dispersal garden with seed sculptures showing the different seed dispersal mechanisms.

Singapore Botanic Gardens
Established in 1859, the 84-hectare Singapore Botanic Gardens holds a unique and significant place in the history of Singapore and the region. Through the botanical and horticultural work carried out today, the Gardens continue to play an important role as a leading tropical botanical institute, and an endearing place to all Singaporeans. The Gardens was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee on 4 July 2015 and is the first and only tropical botanic garden on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
