In the last few years, sky gardens have become the rage or at least I think so. Many condominiums also have sky gardens these days and they are apparently good selling points.
The very enterprising Marina Bay Sands even charge a fee to enter their sky garden (aka SkyPark) which is probably the tallest one in Singapore at 200m above ground. Personally, I wouldn't bother paying $20 just to gain entrance.
If we want to experience a sky garden, try the one at the National Library in Bugis. I was there recently and I really like it. No entrance fee too.

| I like this. Creepers growing up some pillars which reminds me of a jungle. |

| Pandan! This spot smells really nice and will probably stay roach free! |
 |
| If you like nature but are asthmatic like me, you will like this place. |

| I used to have a pot of Aloe Vera at home, if you remember. ;) |
 |
| Open seven days a week, this is one sky garden all of us can enjoy for free. |

Go visit and see for yourself. Have a good weekend. :)
P.S. All photos taken with my trusty Samsung mobile phone, which, by the way, is also free, or have I said this before? ;)

Hi Anonymous,
I think there could be a day when someone I know might be staying there and I might also be invited to visit. Till then, I really am not bothered at all. ;)
AK,
I visited the national library for the first time last CNY. OK, call me "sua ku"!
I am more a Queenstown library guy, so imagine my surprise and wonderment when I explored the upper floors at the National library. So big and spacious!
I felt like I was in a university's library or something. I was a bit hesitant and asked whether I can enter. Ha ha! Silly me!
Found some interesting sections and old books and magazines. Now I know where to go if I need to do some research ;)
Hi SMOL,
I had not visited a public library in years! This visit was a "by the way" kind of thing. I was there with my family to watch Hossan Leong actually. So, discovering this sky garden was a bonus. :)
