Botanical Gardens Walk + National Orchid Garden

Meet: NAPIER MRT STATION (TE12) Passenger Service Centre*
When: Thursday 24th January 4:30 pm

**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.

Please be punctual. You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

This Meetup group is led by a community of volunteers. Please extend grace in areas of inadequacy. You are most welcome to give constructive feedback; we strive for improvement!

Let's stroll through the Botanic Gardens! The National Orchid Garden has free entry to locals from the 19th July to 27th July! We shall take the opportunity to visit the Orchid Gardens!

The Singapore Botanic Gardens (the Gardens) was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 4th July 2015, at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) in Bonn, Germany.

The Gardens is the first and only tropical botanic garden on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. It is the first in Asia and the third botanic gardens inscribed in the world following Orto botanico di Padova and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

See you there! :-)

Event communication will be through the event comments section. Please check the event comments section on the day of the event so that you will be updated on any changes.

Please try to be punctual. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

Please keep in mind that I may not respond to messages sent after the walk starts because I will be busy helping the attendees and leading the walk.

Please be sure to RSVP responsibly to help those who are on the waitlist get the chance to come for the walks.

As a consideration to others, you should change your RSVP status the day before the event to allow those on the waitlist time to schedule for the event if you can't attend.

If I notice many no-shows despite the RSVPs, I may remove you from the RSVP list so that others can join my walks.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
