This talk will touch upon the beginnings of botanic gardens in Singapore from the time of Sir Stamford Raffles and the first Agri-Horticultural Soceity. The purpose and history of colonial botanic gardens will be described, with particular reference to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew as the imperial hub of this British network, and thereby set the context for the development of the Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG) in the 19th century through to modern times.
