This was such a great little series! That place is going on my bucket list and you can tell how happy your tour guide was to see the forest through your eyes! He was beaming with pride. Thanks Summer!!
I live across SG in Malaysia and due to Covid we are currently not allowed to cross borders, but can't wait for them to open again. I've visited the cloud forest dome before and now, after seeing your tour I so so want to go again and look at all the plants more closely to really appreciate them. Hopefully soon. Summer I really enjoyed this entire Singapore series, especially during these times that we have to stay at home. We moved there in 2011 and my love for this country is only growing, we need to appreciate more what we have. I am only now starting to realise that I live in house plants heaven with the right climate conditions to grow many many beautiful plants and great resources to buy them. Thank you very much!
I just sat down and watched all 5 episodes-there are no words to describe the awe of this! I do not travel well anymore so this quenches my thirst for beautiful plants. I love all of your tours but this one is just spectacular! Thank you so much!
I think you did a great job of giving us both an overview and many detailed snapshots. This was a fantastic set of videos for what must have been a remarkable trip. Thank you
I live in Singapore and have been to the Gardens By The Bay several times, but the experience was nothing like watching these videos. Almost like a back of house tour! I also enjoy your enthusiasm and curiosity about all the plants you see. Please come back to Singapore and do more videos about this city in a garden!
thanks again, am so proud of my homeland watching this! and yes, he was so proud of his work and appreciating locals/people he work with. well done! am grateful for this! thanks summer!
Again, Wow! I am just so amazed. I just want to replay it again and again. Those peperomias were also amazing. Normally most of us only see them in single house style planters so I was stunned to see them in this video in profusion with their inflorescence all co-mingling. Thank you so much for doing this. I know if we are amazed how it must have been for you.
Fantastic tour. I just bing watched the entire tour with my first cup of coffee. Im "green" with envy over Chad, and your, jobs🌴🌿🌼. Thanks for bringing this to us!
I loved this series! I was in Singapore in 2018 for two weeks and spend a lot of time in the Grdens by the Bay. I was three time in die Domes. Back than I wasn't into plants like I am now but it was breathtaking and wonderfull. I wanna go back so badly and revisit all the cool places with the plants. Also Singapore has a lot of greenery in the City. I was so amazed with all the green colors and plants everywhere. Thank you for you awesome content and all the knowledge you give to us. I love watching your videos!
This series is everything I never knew I needed. I've been waiting for each episode impatiently but the wait made it more special so I appreciate the format. I don't travel a lot, and I've never been more than a few days trip by car away from home but I'm truly inspired to go to the other side of the planet to visit Singapore and Gardens by the bay after this series! Thank you for creating this content for us! 💚
Evelyn, such a sweet comment. Even if you don't make it to Singapore, I'm happy to share the experience with you and everyone else who cares to watch. Glad you feel energized and inspired!
I like how the Secret Garden gives one such an intimate viewpoint and interaction with those understory plants. The magnifying lenses draw one into the lilliputian world of miniature plant structures. (Every gardener should own one, if only for pest detection.) ~ I appreciate how in this series you seamlessly interwove nerding out over ‘houseplants ‘ with detailed botanical, architectural and horticultural information. You featured a representative amount of juicy species without becoming encyclopedic. The camera, sound, editing, etc., were all quite good. I imagine that making the arrangements with the Garden authorities and the scheduling Mr. Davis’ extremely generous sharing of his time and expertise was an involved task. (He would have ‘out named’ you in the dry cactus house.) Undoubtedly the best aspect of this series is that both you and Chad , though more knowledgeable than many of your viewers, spoke from a relatable place of wonder and interpretative observation. This made for a friendly fascinating conversational tone, rather than a dissertation. P.S. - Sculpted stalagmites at 4:15 ? P.P.S. - A good TH-cam video on Wollemia nobilis is, ‘Ancient future - saving the Wollemia Pine’.
I very much appreciate you taking the time not only to watch the videos but also to write such detailed missives (well, they feel like missives :) about what you think of the material. In particular, what I've loved about speaking with the people that we meet and film is that all of them have a childlike wonderment about them when it comes to plants-and I SO love that. I think that, in part, is what helps make this accessible. And your intuition on the tasks involved in producing these videos are correct. A lot is involved-compared to when I first started 2 years ago-to get these produced and in front of your eyes! Glad to know it's not going unnoticed :)
Thank you Summer for your field trip series . I’ve been watching most of them and got destructed with some other videos when I started collecting Aroids. I love all of them ,you made me want to travel now . Actually my love for plants and watching your series change the priority of my list 😀.
What an excellent field trip of the Cloud Forest Dome. I appreciate the close-up look at the plants & the effort to provide their IDs/botanical names. Thank you for sharing your passion & knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Sad the journey is over....always waited for the series...bt hey can rerun them!... watching these vids always puts a smile on my face...im a beginner in the botanic world..and your vids are an inspiration ... Thank You...
Thank you Summer this was quite an awesome experience! Your guide was great and I'm sure was impressed with your plant knowledge! Looking forward to what's next!🤗
Thanks for sharing. We've been lucky enough to visit the gardens twice but as you said there is so much to take in and you pointed out lots of plants I didn't see, great work!
Congratulations on the updated episodes, Summer! It's really helpful that they use texts and other graphic elements in order to help the user navigate through them. I enjoy as well of the filming style, especially for field trips like this one ;) - which, by the way, increases, even more, the curiosity about growing different species altogether. That's something I'd like you to talk about more extendedly. Cheers! Nina
Hi Nina! Thanks for tuning in and your comments here. I'd be happy to talk more about growing different species. I'm actually just finishing up documenting all the ones in my home!
An absolutely fascinating series. I want to jump on a plane and go to Singapore right now!! I've been subscribed for a while, and now I can't wait to see even more content! Two thumbs up!!
My bucket list botanical garden 🥰 loved the series! Do we have more coming from this garden? This was only the one conservatory 😉 Thanks for sharing with us! I'd been looking forward to these videos!
Love love loooove all of your uploads. Thx so much. I‘ve learned so much from you already. Trying to green up my flat like yours, still a long way to go 💪🏼🌱
Summer Rayne Oakes you are so right. Struggeling with the Swiss winter atm. Less light and the dry air is always a struggle. Thx so much for texting back. Greetings from Zurich. Ps: maybe you want to come and check out our Masoala Hall from Zurich Zoo sometime😉
Wonderful tour and videos, Summer. I grow carnivorous plants so was especially interested in putting them in glass globes - bought 2 today to do a trial. And I grow mini orchids too, so love having the magnifiers right there. But seriously, everything was interesting and inspiring.
So glad you packed the salt and lemon juice to rub into the wound. 😂 You just couldn't resist the glorious shot of peperomia fraseri for those of us over-wintering ours! 🙈🌿❄
@@summerrayneoakes I upcycled a 15 gallon hexagonal aquarium someone was kind enough to throw away and gave mine three back walls. It appears I've pleased her. 😆 I'll only grow pep fraseri under glass henceforth!
This undestory view is awesome! I am curious how the blooming triggers work since Singapore is so close to the equator (12hrs light/12hrs dark). I know most plants (especially orchids) benefit from the light and water triggers for blooming queues. Thoughts?
I love how most people you interview are surprised and then quickly impressed at your plant knowledge. 🤓🪴💪🏻
I love this guy! So knowledgeable and humble
Chad is wonderful! And was up to the tallest task, which was one crazy tour.
Truly a plant paradise! Should be included in the wonders of the world! Thanks for showing this cloud forest in five parts, really enjoyed!
Really glad you tuned in to enjoy the series. More to come !
This is your most wonderful series. I saw it a few years back. I fell back into it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
These videos never get old. I can always come back to them, they help me to relax seeing all the plants.
that was amazing! hands down the most extravagant collection of plants and display! It was like seeing a biodiverse miracle.
Glad you enjoyed Lance!
This was such a great little series! That place is going on my bucket list and you can tell how happy your tour guide was to see the forest through your eyes! He was beaming with pride. Thanks Summer!!
Pam, very glad you enjoyed this. And yes, this is TOTAL Bucket List Material!

THIS WAS A PHENOMENAL TOUR! I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY LONG!
I think you did a great job of giving us both an overview and many detailed snapshots. This was a fantastic set of videos for what must have been a remarkable trip. Thank you
I really appreciate your sentiments and glad you took something away from the videos.
Such a perfect tour! You two have a nice personal chemistry and a beautifully complimentary knowledge set. Thanks so much.
I was there the last day before its COVID-19 closure. Cannot wait to visit when it reopens. I'm a proud Friend of the Gardens.
I live in Singapore and have been to the Gardens By The Bay several times, but the experience was nothing like watching these videos. Almost like a back of house tour! I also enjoy your enthusiasm and curiosity about all the plants you see. Please come back to Singapore and do more videos about this city in a garden!
thanks again, am so proud of my homeland watching this! and yes, he was so proud of his work and appreciating locals/people he work with. well done! am grateful for this! thanks summer!
Thank you so much for these 5 Wonderfull films about singapore Gardens by the Bay! I realy love them so much! Greatings from Amsterdam
Greetings to you too! Hope to come back to the Netherlands soon.
No words to say how wonderful the series were, thank you so much to both of you for sharing what you'll knew

Thanks Summer and Chad for this wonderful tour! So much to take in, feels like a dream.
Thank you Summer for your field trip series .

Simply just wonderful ~ one of my favourite tours :)
Absolutely amazing, esp. for plant lovers. Thank you so much Summer for sharing your tour with us.
Hello Summer... nothing on tv so I watched all five episodes of the beautiful GARDENS BY THE BAY AGAIN! It only got more AMAZING THE SECOND TIME ...❤️
What an excellent field trip of the Cloud Forest Dome. I appreciate the close-up look at the plants & the effort to provide their IDs/botanical names. Thank you for sharing your passion & knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Very glad you appreciated. And the feedback I got from the channel last year was "more close-ups and more names!" so yeah...:)
This could have easily been a 10 part series, so much to see. Would love to see a behind the scenes view though.
Soo amazing. Can’t wait to see more of your videos.
More on the way! Thanks for tuning in.
I love this video ever.. I love all natural botanical gardens..
Summer this series was so awesome!! I loved the editing and the closeups with the scientific names 😍😍
The tour was awesome! Thanks so much!! It is somewhere I will probably never go so it was wonderful to be able to see it thru your eyes!
So glad we were able to bring it to you then Heidi.
Thanks so much for the incredible tour. Amazing
Awesome tour! Massive collection of plants, some I've never heard of. Thanks Summer🤗
Wow! I would never have known about this place if you didn't do this video. Amazing tour. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow That was spectacular, want to see more.
Sad the journey is over....always waited for the series...bt hey can rerun them!... watching these vids always puts a smile on my face...im a beginner in the botanic world..and your vids are an inspiration ... Thank You...
So glad that you're getting something from the field trips-if only some inspiration. I'll have some more beginner videos coming up too!
Thanks for doing such an in depth tour
4:16! What are those melting marshmallow things? So trippy!
small cave stalamites, the cloud forest has a cave section in the middle full of rocks.
Thank you Summer this was quite an awesome experience! Your guide was great and I'm sure was impressed with your plant knowledge! Looking forward to what's next!🤗
Thanks for sharing. We've been lucky enough to visit the gardens twice but as you said there is so much to take in and you pointed out lots of plants I didn't see, great work!
Wow..I love those tunnel windows..thnx Summer for this trip
My greatest pleasure!

Had to see twice and more to take in all the beautiful plants. So lucky to be following your channel. Thanks
Very glad you enjoyed. I wish I can go back because there were so many plants to be seen!!

Hi Nina! Thanks for tuning in and your comments here. I'd be happy to talk more about growing different species. I'm actually just finishing up documenting all the ones in my home!
Summer Rayne Oakes That sounds just great! It would be fantastic getting major tips from you. Congratulations for your work again!
Just amazing! Thank you
Love the series, thank you for sharing.

Welcome to Singapore !
We here are proud of Gardens by the Bay. It is so amazing ! Next time do one for the flower dome.
OMG I think you have to spent weeks looking at everything, that was so amazing. How long did you stay there for?
I was in Singapore for 9 days but could have stayed of 90 and not seen everything! And it's a small country!
Poor fella...
"hey whats this?"
"ümmm"
"and this?"
"hmmmm"
:D
The guy is like how did she knows everything he’s like why am I even here😂😂
Love love loooove all of your uploads. Thx so much. I‘ve learned so much from you already. Trying to green up my flat like yours, still a long way to go
💪🏼🌱
All starts with one plant!
Summer Rayne Oakes you are so right.
Struggeling with the Swiss winter atm.
Less light and the dry air is always a struggle.
Thx so much for texting back.
Greetings from Zurich.
Ps: maybe you want to come and check out our Masoala Hall from Zurich Zoo sometime😉
Thank you for sharing this!
before i die i wanna go here please 😍😍😍
enough "surface scratching" to make me decide to visit! :-)
Love your tours
Wonderful tour and videos, Summer. I grow carnivorous plants so was especially interested in putting them in glass globes - bought 2 today to do a trial. And I grow mini orchids too, so love having the magnifiers right there. But seriously, everything was interesting and inspiring.
Thanks for this dream trip
Great series , just subscribed to your channel!
I love this .
Maybe one day u can have some field trip w a fan .
I wanna be first lol .
I’m sooo looking forward to travelling again. Guess where my first spot to go to would be 🙊
É o paraíso 🌷🌵🌴🌳🌲🌱🍁🍀🌹🌸🌼🌻🌿🌾🍃
*1:34** you could say it's thirsty for light 😎😎*
So glad you packed the salt and lemon juice to rub into the wound. 😂 You just couldn't resist the glorious shot of peperomia fraseri for those of us over-wintering ours!
🙈🌿❄
It's a fickle plant!
@@summerrayneoakes I upcycled a 15 gallon hexagonal aquarium someone was kind enough to throw away and gave mine three back walls. It appears I've pleased her. 😆 I'll only grow pep fraseri under glass henceforth!

I'm a local but have only been to Gardens a few times. Your series has really piqued my interest in botany. Getting a ticket soon hopefully!
I have a large solanum uleanum coming in the mail. And solanum evolvulofulium.
All of the plants in this video would look great in a viv
