Supertree Grove: A Symphony of Nature and Innovation

By -

Located in the heart of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, the Supertree Grove is a stunning marvel of modern engineering and ecological artistry. Inspired by the majestic trees of the rainforest, these towering structures redefine the boundaries of sustainable urban landscaping. With their intricate vertical gardens and vibrant light displays, the Supertrees captivate visitors by day and night alike.



Rising up to 50 meters—equivalent to a 16-story building—the Supertrees stand as iconic sentinels of the garden. Their trunks are adorned with over 162,900 plants from more than 200 species, including bromeliads, orchids, ferns, and flowering climbers. These plants thrive in Singapore’s tropical climate, transforming the Supertrees into living walls of color and texture.

The vertical planting panels are not just a visual delight but a testament to innovation. By harnessing sustainable technologies, seven of the Supertrees are equipped to harvest solar energy, while others are designed to collect rainwater and support the garden's irrigation systems. These features ensure that the Supertree Grove is as functional as it is beautiful.



During the day, the Supertrees offer shade to visitors exploring the gardens. Their towering presence and lush greenery provide a cool respite, making them a favorite spot for families and nature enthusiasts. But as the sun sets, the Supertrees undergo a breathtaking transformation.

The nightly Garden Rhapsody show illuminates the grove with a symphony of lights and music. Powered by 68 independent audio speakers, this spectacular event combines dazzling visuals with an enchanting score, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors.



More than just futuristic structures, the Supertrees embody a bold vision for sustainable urban living. They serve as vertical gardens that support biodiversity while demonstrating innovative solutions for green architecture. From their towering heights to the smallest flowering climber, every detail of the Supertree Grove showcases the harmonious blend of nature and technology.

Whether you’re a plant enthusiast, a lover of architecture, or simply seeking inspiration, the Supertree Grove promises an awe-inspiring journey. Step closer and marvel at these living giants, and immerse yourself in a world where nature and innovation come together to create magic.

Happy travelling.
