Singapore’s most beloved floral showcase returns to the Singapore Botanic Gardens this July, as the SGF Orchid Show lights up the National Orchid Garden once again. Presented by the Singapore Garden Festival and the Orchid Society of South East Asia, this second edition promises a breathtaking display of over 4,500 orchid species and hybrids in full bloom.

Wander through vibrant floral installations and admire rare and award-winning orchids at every turn. From hobbyist displays to professional grower competitions, the event is a celebration of both botanical artistry and community passion. Visitors can explore enhanced spaces such as the Tropical Montane Orchidetum, the Sembcorp Cool House and the Tan Hoon Siang Mist House—all specially designed to showcase orchids from various climates and elevations.

This year’s edition also marks three significant milestones: the National Orchid Garden’s 30th anniversary, the Singapore Botanic Gardens' 10th year as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the 150th anniversary of the Singapore Herbarium and the Library of Botany and Horticulture.
