Singapore is a grower's paradise. Some of the best collectors and growers are found in this tiny tropical island nation. Here’s why…
The government incentivizes gardening as a means to green up the city and address food security.
There’s a free flow of information exchange and tremendous support from plant communities.
A strong gardening culture and appreciation for nature have been passed down through generations.
A strong economy and high disposable income mean more budget for personal hobbies.
A high education level results in innovative citizens—and gardeners.
Finally, and my favorite, a smooth import and export process means Singaporeans can freely trade a huge diversity of plants and a wide variety of plant care products.
See for yourself in the full episode as I guest judge for the Botanica Exotica Aroid competition and tour an exciting plant market."
