Orchard Tour Series Part I: Where Do Our Fruits Come From? (A Guided Tour)


Many are familiar with Orchard Road, the famous shopping belt in Singapore. Ever wondered what is an orchard?

 

The new extension of the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden houses an orchard zone where there is a collection of fruit trees.

The tour will cover tropical fruits commonly seen in supermarkets as well as other edible fruits that are grown and consumed in the region.

At the same time, participants will also discover interesting pollinators that make fruit production possible.

Suitable for children in K1 – S2 levels.
