“Among the highlights of the rejuvenated Japanese Garden will be new curated gardens that showcase our tropical flora and a series of waterscapes interwoven with greenery,” it added.Visitors coming from Jurong East MRT station and crossing the Japanese Garden Bridge will be greeted by the Water Lily Pavilion, which opens up to the Water Lily Garden.
The centrepiece of this garden will be a cenote-inspired water feature that will harvest rainwater for recycling. Look out for the wild tamarind tree, which resembles the weeping willow when viewed from afar. It may also bear its signature twisted, red seed pods.The centre of the Floral Garden is made up of a dry garden and rock gardens, surrounded by five community plots.As part of efforts to foster community stewardship, NParks engaged community stakeholders to co-design the community plots within the Floral Garden.
They planted trees and shrubs on site with advisers from Jurong GRC, West Coast GRC, Yuhua SMC and Bukit Batok SMC.
