NURTURING NATURE’S CREATION:
We offer a complete range of plant and design concepts harmonious with our area and ecology. With well-known and respected horticulturists in Singapore and Malaysia, we offer outdoor and indoor plants.
Our research focuses mainly on our collections of plants, both living and preserved, and scientific literature. Full use is made of the extensive human knowledge base and expertise in taxonomy and horticulture in the institute as a whole. Research, documentation and conservation are all based on the collections in the Gardens, curated and conserved through our horticulture.
We nurture a plant from time to time. It grows from a seedling or cutting to the time when it is planted at our client’s site. Our staff ensures safe delivery of plants. We adhere to a rigorous maintenance schedule at our client’s locations on a regular basis. As a part of our maintenance program, plants are cleaned, watered, trimmed, fed and replaced, if necessary.

The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Limited Horticulture at Island Horti- Tech is a multi-purpose activity, supporting the institution’s research programme and balancing this with a high-quality visitor amenity. Our unrivalled living collections represent a resource for botanical science worldwide, whether for pure scientific purposes or those with economic potential. Most important of all, the living collections and the horticultural skill that cares for them are a resource for ex situ conservation of plant diversity and its integration with habitat restoration and species reintroduction.
