About the WBG-NLB Biodiversity Series
The Woodlands Botanical Garden (WBG) is Singapore's largest community garden and the only one dedicated exclusively to biodiversity. Spreading over 4000 sqm in size and spanning 9 storeys in height, it is home to a large variety of biodiversity and what used to be a barren hillside is now teeming with life, boasting more than 300 species of plants and more than 200 species of animals. Join us in this WBG-NLB Biodiversity Series as we learn more about the WBG and the biodiversity she supports, from butterflies and bees, to dragonflies and birds, and even beetles and spiders!
