Tour Highlights
Solar Panel Discovery
Come up close to our floating solar panel installation on the Discovery Lake. Did you know that Singapore’s geographic location near the equatorial belt makes us an ideal location to harvest solar energy?
Urban Garden Discovery
Explore traditional and modern farming methods in land-scarce, urban Singapore and engage your senses of smell and touch to identify and learn more about some commonly used herbs and greens.
Microgreens Planting Workshop
Growing your own greens need not be as difficult as you think. Discover the joy and beauty of urban gardening by planting your own microgreens to create a beautiful, living craft.
Tea Making Workshop
Calm your nerves by concocting your very own tea, infused with the fragrant scent of lemongrass and amazing colour-changing properties of butterfly pea flowers. The lemongrass butterfly pea tea has stress-busting and antioxidant properties that also lower sugar and cholesterol in blood.

Tour Highlights
Solar Panels
It's matte, it's black and it floats on pontoons in reservoirs - it's solar panels! Ever wondered why solar energy is the most viable source of renewable energy in Singapore? Let's take a closer look at what solar panels look like and find out how solar energy has helped SDC in reducing its reliance on electricity.
Urban Garden
Have you ever seen plants growing on compact urban spaces such as the rooftops of HDB blocks or walls of office buildings? Learn how modern urban farming solutions can help potentially solve our nation’s battle with food security.
