SINGAPORE : Visitors to the Singapore Botanic Gardens can expect many new attractions at the Gardens in four years' time.

Among them is a Healing Garden with hundreds of species of plants.

There will also be a Fragrant Garden that promises to not only look but also smell great.

Visitors can also look out for an Ecowalk which will connect visitors from the MRT Station.

The attractions are expected to open in phases in 2011 and will cost S$30 million.

They are being developed on almost 12 hectares of land around the Botanic Gardens.

According to NParks, the layout of the attractions has been carefully planned to provide new plant displays, while preserving the unique character of the Gardens. - CNA/ms
