The Flower Dome tells the story of plants and people in the Mediterranean climate zone, and how the plants cultivated in these regions will gradually become endangered as temperatures rise. It has a planted footprint of more than 10,100 sq m and aims to bring alive the experience of seasonal change change for visitors more used to Singapore's eternally tropical climate and lush green vegetation. The landform of the conservatories draws inspiration from Mediterranean landscapes and evokes the language of dry, sun-baked hillsides punctuated with rocky terraces and stoney outcrops. At the center of this permanent display is the Flower Field– a vast carpet of flowers in bloom which will change seasonally.
