Gift of Gardens
Gift of Gardens is Gardens by the Bay's community outreach programme. Guided by our vision of “Our world of Gardens for all to own, enjoy and cherish,” this initiative provides complimentary access to the Conservatories and thoughtfully curated experiences for those who may face barriers to visiting the Gardens. This includes seniors, persons with disabilities, youth, families, and vulnerable groups. The patron of the Gift of Gardens programme is the President of the Republic of Singapore, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
As of 2025, Gift of Gardens has reached out to nearly 300,000 beneficiaries since its inception. The initiative enables people of all abilities to enjoy the Gardens in meaningful ways, supporting their well-being, social connection, and sense of belonging. Spending time in nature supports physical health, emotional well-being, and mental wellness. However, not everyone can fully experience the Gardens due to physical, financial, or other barriers. Gift of Gardens can bridge this gap and continue to deliver inclusive and accessible programmes, enabling beneficiaries from all walks of life to experience the joy and healing power of nature.
Our Gift of Gardens programmes are delivered in collaboration with social service agencies, schools, community partners, and trained volunteers. This ensures that activities are safe, respectful, and suitable for participants’ needs and abilities.
