See Singapore's most biodiverse space, where indigenous wildlife has returned
Behind an HDB in Woodlands, something extraordinary is happening, led by ordinary people.It began with a simple idea: what if we replanted Singapore with its indigenous plants, and let nature decide what came back? So the community started planting - no decorative gardens or manicured rows, but a garden designed for insects, birds, and predators.Nature responded fast.Today, eagles circle overhead (a good sign when predators come back!). Rare damselflies survive here after disappearing elsewhere. And this single community garden is now home to more butterfly species than the ENTIRE UK.This private guided experience takes you inside one of Singapore’s most successful rewilding experiments - a nine-storey, community-built garden designed entirely for biodiversity. It’s living proof that nature can recover quickly when we stop designing only for ourselves, and when people act instead of waiting for institutions.You’ll explore the garden with Wilson, who knows every corner and creature like an old companion. As he leads you through the trails, he’ll point out hidden gems like the Fiery Coraltail damselfly - a rare but incredible species as they are extremely effective mosquito controllers! After suffering habitat losses because of urban development, this is now one of the only spaces you can still find them and admire them up-close.This experience matters because it answers a big question many of us quietly hold: Is what we’ve lost gone for good? This garden says no.And it shows what’s possible when people stop waiting, and start rewilding the spaces we already have.A question to take with you: What could our cities become if we designed them not just for people, but for all the life that shares them with us?Why This Experience MattersCities often treat greenery as something decorative—beautiful to look at, but not necessarily designed to support life. This garden asks a different question: what if the success of a green space was measured by how much wildlife returned?What happened here shows that regeneration doesn’t always need to begin with a huge master plan. Sometimes it starts with a few determined people, a neglected patch of land and a willingness to stop waiting for someone else to act.This garden is living proof that what we’ve lost may not be gone for good—and that nature can recover surprisingly quickly when we give it the chance.Impact Week 2026 Learning JourneyThis experience has been specially curated for Impact Week 2026 and will take place only on 12 September. These Learning Journeys take you beyond the surface to better understand people, places and issues in Singapore, and hopefully inspire us to protect what matters.
