International home & garden show

SINGAPORE – The Singapore Garden Festival (SGF) is poised to be the premier tropical garden and flower show on the global stage in 2024, gathering leading designers under one roof and showcasing more than 60 displays.

By sheer scale, the ninth edition of the biennial festival – which will take place at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre from Aug 3 to 11 – is staggering.

The festival covers about 22,000 sq m, or about 2ha, on Levels 4 and 6.

This is nearly the size of 18 Olympic-size swimming pools.

Unlike in 2022 when the festival was held in two locations – Orchard Road and the Singapore Botanic Gardens – 2024’s garden and flower show will be kept entirely indoors and air-conditioned for cool comfort and barrier-free access for all.

SGF attracted more than 700,000 visitors at the double venues two years ago.

Since its inception in 2006, SGF – organised by the National Parks Board (NParks) – has grown steadily and now ranks among the most anticipated horticultural events globally.
