Aside from being a memorable experience, Jewel Blooms 2024 is a must-visit for anyone passionate about gardening and plants—and here are some of the reasons why:
Marvel at the Spectacular Floral Displays
One of the biggest reasons to check out Jewel Blooms 2024 is to see the stunning array of over 15,000 blooms meticulously curated to create breathtaking floral landscapes at Canopy Park. These displays are specifically chosen for visitors’ viewing pleasure and meant to evoke a wide range of emotions, from happiness and love to peace and even adventurous discovery. Visitors can also look forward to unique multi-sensorial experiences as they marvel at the eye-catching displays while surrounded by pleasant scents and calming melodies.
Visit Megumi Shinozaki’s Artistic Installation
Another reason you need to visit Jewel Blooms is the awe-inspiring installation by acclaimed floral artist Megumi Shinozaki from Tokyo. Known for her ability to merge organic elements with artistic expression, Shinozaki’s work at Jewel Blooms 2024 promises a sensory journey through themes of nature and human connection. It will be the largest installation for this year’s festival and the first time Shinozaki’s work will be displayed in Southeast Asia.
The exhibit is entitled Petal Garden: Super Blooms by Megumi Shinozaki and is inspired by the superbloom phenomenon. It’s a rare event when wildflowers that have been dormant for years bloom in massive bursts of colour. This rare occurrence usually takes place in deserts after an unusual amount of rain, which then transforms the once barren land into a vibrant floral garden.
Drawing inspiration from the superbloom from Carrizo Plain, California, Megumi Shinozaki recreates a vibrant sea of flowers in Jewel Changi. The large-scale floral artwork is composed of hybrid starchis, a type of double-flowering cherry blossom variety, and preserved hydrangeas specially flown in from Japan. The installation also features two 2.8-metre-high structures that resemble mountains, which are made up of arrangements of fresh and preserved flowers.
Explore and Get Lost in Singapore’s Largest Hedge Maze
For Jewel Blooms 2024, Singapore’s largest hedge maze is transformed into a multi-sensory floral trail. The oasis of greenery within Jewel Changi Airport becomes a literal Maze of Sunshine as it features over 3,000 cheerful blooms, including sunflowers.
Designed to enchant and challenge visitors, the maze offers an immersive experience amidst beautiful and fragrant blooms. You can discover hidden corners, encounter unique plant species, and enjoy the thrill of exploration in this botanical wonderland. Find out whether you’ll find the exit or stumble into joyful surprises when you follow the paths in the hedge maze.
Take a Romantic Stroll at Foggy Bowls
Another highlight of Jewel Blooms 2024 is the ethereal Foggy Bowls exhibit, a sensory delight that blends art with the ephemeral beauty of nature. Picture taking a romantic stroll with fog-filled bowls adorned with delicate blooms. It creates a mesmerising scene straight out of a romantic film. Additionally, the immersive installation features lighted flowers dancing in a gentle mist and kinetic butterflies. This makes a great backdrop for all visitors, especially those who want to create unforgettable memories amidst flowers in art.
