Three hundred people from diverse backgrounds collaborated to create Singapore's largest flower carpet, bringing a beautiful Singapore-themed masterpiece to life together.
Singapore’s largest flower carpet – Some 300 people from all walks of life came together to bring this beautiful Singapore-themed Flower Carpet to life. A medley of colourful blooms made up of more than 100,000 pots of flowers and 20,000 cut flowers by hand forms a circular, batik-inspired pattern spanning 34.2m across that honours our national flower, the Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim.
In the petals of the flower carpet are representations of the four races such as a lantern, a ketupat, a diya candle, and a bell. We had the privilege of volunteering with the team at Gardens by the Bay and other community volunteers for this display of community spirit and cultural diversity. It was also certified Singapore’s largest flower carpet by the Singapore Book of Records.
The Flower Carpet was on display at Gardens by the Bay in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival on 23 September 2023. Check out how this project came to life!
