Art in Transit: “Planting Shadows” by Vertical Submarine
This work is a further exploration of the groups’ interest in botany, and linking it to visual language and history. Shadows of tropical plants are used as furtive images to echo the presence and absence of nature in our urban environment.
These shadows cast on the walls of the station are adapted from botanical drawings produced during the colonial era to signify and trace the past to the present landmark of Gardens by the Bay where we see the cultivation of nature.
Civil Defence shelter

With this MRT station this will be the nearest MRT station to Gardens by the Bay. Even bus service 400 will have no use by the time this station opens.
Surely there will be TEL3 Rationalisation.
Yes, I will suspect that Bus 400 will be withdrawn by 13 November.
No, Bus 400 will be amended to serve Shenton Way MRT Station (TE19).
Ah yes thats right, at first we thought that Service 400 will have no use, but wow now they end up amending Bus 400 to (TE19) Shenton Way Station, and really? thats what I said in the (TE19) Shenton Way MRT Station thoughts.
I thought both platforms will be used as turnarounds? Cause between Marina South and Gardens By The Bay, there is a cripple siding track.
I found an exit for Gardens By the Bay station. It is just outside Marina Barrage, towards Gardens by the Bay. Nearby, you will see it.
Is it Exit 1?
