About this audio guide
This guide to Supertree Grove starts with an unlikely source for Singapore's skyline: landscape architect Andrew Grant citing the glowing forests of Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke as inspiration, before his firm beat out more than seventy rivals to design Marina Bay's gardens. You'll hear what the eighteen towering structures around you are actually doing beyond looking like trees, from venting warm air to hosting more than two hundred plant species on their trunks. It follows the walkway that threads between their canopies twenty-two metres up.
