These talented garden and floral designers are invited to compete at this exclusive and unique festival to show off their creations to the world and win some of the most prestigious awards in gardening today.

In July of last year gardeners from seventeen countries exhibited their quite extraordinary designs during the eight day extravaganza that took place in the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre in Singapore. This was the third occasion that this superb festival had taken place in this delightful country and was deemed to be a huge success with over 30,000 visitors to the event.

Exhibitors from as far away as Canada and Grenada were attracted to the festival and with 31 masterpieces of garden engineering on show visitors marvelled at the creations that were on display. There were over a quarter of a million plants, both tropical and temperate, with well in excess of 65,000 cut flowers dotted around the exhibition centre.

The garden displays were simply out of this world with inspirational touches that any fervent gardener could easily adapt to their own gardens. Trade stands at the festival offered innovative gardening products and many new species of plants were introduced to the public during the festival.

Amongst these beautiful floral displays was the Wine Garden. This unique garden design offered visitors the opportunity of tasting a selection of new wines whilst they marvelled at the plants and floral displays all around them.

The exhibitors at the festival included people such as the British designer Claire Whitehouse whose garden design was astonishingly beautiful. She created a show garden at the Chelsea Flower show which won 15 medals earning her the invitation to take part in the Singapore Garden Festival.
