First Botanical Gardens at Armenian StreetThe First Botanic Garden in Singapore was started in 1822 by Raffles. It was a Botanical and Experimental Garden to cultivate economic crops, such as nutmeg and clove, and other experimental crops such as coffee, tea, and Pernambuco cotton. After Raffles left Singapore, the garden was left languishing, and subsequently closed in 1829. Largely due to high maintenance fee of $60 which was high in the olden days. For almost 30 years there was no Botanic Garden in Singapore until the present one was begun in 1859 in Napier Road. In today’s time, where the first botanical garden is being recreated. The garden is restored with species introduced to Singapore in the early 19th century. They are in four different themes, the economic spices, ornamental plants, medicinal plants and plants. These are native to the region in the 1800s. As someone who visits the civic district often, I’m so delighted to see the garden bringing so much cheer to the area. Please remember to not pluck the flowers and just admire them! #naturewonderscrayoncheryl22

Armenian Street, the art street with graffitiThe Armenian Street is Named after the Armenian Church of St Gregory the Illuminator, and was originally called Armenian Church Street and built in the 1840s. Today the street is currently part of the civic district, and home to buildings such as The Peranakan Museum and the Substation. At the side of substation, there are many graffiti. It is unique as these aren’t vandalism but approved to be down. This is important to note as graffiti and vandalism is not allowed in Singapore. Through the name “Armenian Street” many people believed that many of the Armenians resided or opened business in the area. However it was said that only one to two residents or business was actually in the area. The Peranakan Museum and substation is currently renovating. This street is fun during the Singapore Night Festival when the streets are lighted up and dock with performances and street stores. #localhistorycrayoncheryl
