The Journey of a Tree...

From a seedling nurtured to a tree in our Rainforest Restoration Project rooftop tree nursery, this Serculia foetida (Java Olive) tree species, after three years, has finally found a permanent home into the ground in front of Tampines House. The preparations started weeks ago...

...down the ramps, over the speed bumps, and finally on the site, in front of Tampines House...

Planting our Serculia foetida in its new permanent home - where it will get plenty of attention from our boarders!
