the secret garden of pulau ubin

if you go to pulau ubin, you should make a visit to the secret garden. i think this garden is managed and maintained by the national park board. no admission charge, unless you want a guided tour of the sensory trail.

to get to the secret garden, you have to head towards the police post on the island, which is just a 5 minute walk from the jetty. just before the post, make a left turn and then take the track on the right.

there are scarecrows here and there, among the many plants and vegetables. there are quite a number of coffee shrubs and rows and rows of jasmine flowers. there is also a big clump of pandan leaves which you should be able to smell out.

most of the plants have an information board which tells you about the origin of the plant and its many uses.
