Singapore Botanic Garden - Healing Garden

The Healing garden is a relatively new extension of the Botanic Garden. It contains a wide variety of herbs and medicinal plants in an educational setting. Over the years, trees have grown taller providing adequate shade to make a walk around the garden bearable even on a sunny day. Today, however, was a rainy day but I was fortunate enough to enjoy this garden in between heavy downpours.
