Jan Ang sent me this beautiful FDC from Singapore. It was posted in Bukit Timah on June 19, 2009.

The FDC commemorates “150 Years of Singapore Botanic Gardens”.

When Sir Stamford Raffles established the first Botanic Gardens in 1822, its main purpose was to evaluate for cultivation, crops that were of potential economic importance. However, without […] sufficient funding, the garden languished and was closed in 1829. It was not until 30 years later, in 1859, that the present Singapore Botanical Gardens was founded by the Agri-Horticultural Society. Today, the Gardens is geared towards entrenching itself as a tropical botanical institution of international renown, a key tourist destination and a flagship park.
