Mentioned a couple of days back about
Miss Joaquim's formal debut to the BCSG committee. While the committee discussed BCSG matters, MJ went for a little photo session around the beautiful
HortPark.

MJ insisted on taking photos with some orchids at the Visitor Centre. These pretty and showy white ones are the Phalaenopsis 'Aphrodite'. The
Phalaenopsis orchid is a very popular relative of Miss Joaquim's namesake, the Vanda Miss Joaquim.

HortPark was created to be a one-stop hub for all kinds of garden and garden-related lifestyle activities. There are several themed gardens, including the communal garden in which MJ and Elizabeth Rose spent a lot of time in.

HortPark is a spot that is full of garden initiatives. At the Visitor Centre is a Lifestyle Corner, a rest stop for the public, carefully decorated to give people ideas to incorporate greenery into their homes.
And then there is the Living Wall - a series of 9 vertical garden specimens, with information on the plant species and maintenance.

Seeing how fun it was with MJ and Elizabeth at HortPark, I'll probably head back there for another fun photo session with another little one. When I have more time, and when the weather is better too. This November seems to be a whole lot more rainy....
Nice photo on hortpark! Have you also visited the nearby Gillman Barracks ?

Hi Ben, thanks for stopping by. I did visit Gillman Barracks sometime ago, but a few years before this HortPark visit. Thanks for sharing your informative link on Gillman Barracks.
