Paper slips:

  1. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, set up the very first Botanic Gardens in 1822 on Government Hill at Fort Canning. It was to introduce into cultivation economic crops.
  2. This first Garden closed.
  3. It was not until 30 years later that the present Singapore Botanic Gardens began in 1859, when the Agri Horticultural Society was granted 32 hectares of land in Tanglin by the colonial government
  4. The Agri Horticultural Society, however, ran out of funds and the colonial government took over the management of the Gardens.
  5. The first rubber seedlings came to the gardens from Kew in 1877.
  6. Another achievement was the pioneering of orchid hybridisation by Professor Eric Holttum, director of the Gardens. His techniques led to Singapore being one of the world's top centres of commercial orchid growing.
  7. During the Japanese occupation of Singapore, from 1942 to 1945 Hidezo Tanakadate, a professor of geology from Tohoku Imperial University, took over control of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the Raffles Museum.
  8. After the war, the Gardens was handed back to the control of the British.
  9. Eventually the Gardens played an important role during the "greening Singapore" campaign and Garden City campaign during the early independence years.
