I once saw a tabletop-size pine bonsai going for $21,000. They bring in a lot of bonsai from Japan, like the popular black pine and shimpaku. I've been there a few times, and each time the place is quite empty, save for a few cute stray cats. Spa Flora is on the far left of the Thomson stretch, while Candy Floriculture is on the far right. Judging from that (and their name, obviously), I'm guessing that they cater to the garden crowd.Īddress: 565 Thomson Road, Singapore 298 184 If you're into huge plants (for your garden, perhaps), head to Hawaii Landscape.ĭuring my trip there, I noticed that even their potted plants are quite big. I personally find Goodwood slightly more affordable, with more "green" plants.įar East sells a lot of flowers, potted or fresh-cut. Next to Far East Flora, you will find Goodwood Florist, which is actually part of Far East Flora as well. But that's to be expected of a one-stop shop, right? You pay a little more for convenience.įar East Flora has a website where you can order your plants too. It's got everything you need, just not at super cheap prices. It's possibly the most well known nursery in Singapore, and for good reason. This one needs little introduction - if you've driven past Thomson Road, you would have seen Far East Flora's huge signage.
The common, smaller ones are just a few dollars, but if you want a huge, green "chandelier", it'll cost more (like, a hundred dollars more).Īddress: 553 Thomson Rd, Singapore 298 139ĪLSO READ: Indoor plants for cleaner air, less stress at home or at work I found this gem of a nursery when my sister was on the hunt for air plants and was pleasantly surprised to find that they're quite affordably priced.
