[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Sundial Garden (Updated Jun)

#familytrips2024 As we walked further into the Singapore Botanic Gardens, there was a sign to Sundial Garden. It is a very serene hidden area where there is a sundial designed and sculpted by Ursula Holttum in 1929 in the centre. She was the wife of former assistant director of the Gardens Eric Holttum. There is an inscription on this Singapore sundial which reads, “What thou seekest is but a shadow”. The classical-style garden has manicured shrubs, ponds, sculptures within the garden and is also quite hidden, adding more to its tranquil vibe.
