The Spice Trail of Fort Canning Park, brings you into a world of spices as you take a stroll along the original grounds of the first Botanical Garden in Singapore. Fort Canning Park in Singapore and neighbouring museums are all located within close distance.
If you visit Fort Canning Park, you can see, smell and touch the living collection of herbs and spices at this Park. In this beautiful Park you can also find the exotic vanilla orchid and the trees of some of the most sought-after commodities in the past like nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Take out some time to watch squirrels play and listen to the birds sing amidst this lush green tropical greenery of this park.
A short walk from the Fort Canning Spice Trail will also take you to the Empire of Nature exhibition, the William Farquhar collection of natural history drawings at the National Museum of Singapore. While the park introduces you to the flora and fauna of Singapore, the museum here introduces you to the historical and cultural aspect of the country.
