Green Culture Singapore’s Preparation at the 2nd Singapore Garden Festival

Late yesterday evening, I made my way to Suntec City for the first time to meet up with my fellow talented Green Culture Singapore (GCS) member, Phillipe whom I am working with to design the GCS booth for the upcoming Singapore Garden Festival (SGF).

This was my first time venturing to Suntec City to view the event venue although the set-up period started a while ago. The moment I stepped into the Suntec Convention Centre, I was greeted by numerous enormous blue-coloured SGF billboards and banners. As I made my way up to the exhibition hall, I saw many plants have all been transported and lined up in an aesthetic manner along the corridor outside the hall. It is like a Garden of Eden on Earth. The mascots of the SGF, now having names, namely, Lindy Ladybird, Benny Bee and Gary Grasshopper greeted me at the exhibition hall’s entrance.

Things are still being set up in the exhibition hall. Plants and various hardware items are still being moved into the Show venue. Green Culture Singapore’s booth is located in the Societies and Association section in the exhibition hall on Level 4.

Green Culture Singapore’s booth is numbered A1 and it is the first booth that fronts the L-shaped configuration of booths belonging to various societies and associations. As you can see, we are given an empty booth to start with, which can be likened to be a blank canvas to allow us to spill our creative juices on.

Phillipe and me are still in the process of preparing the materials and we will be going down over the course of this week to finish up the decor for the booth.
