Singapore Garden Festival 2016 Pics"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Singapore Garden Festival is biennial\u00a0event that showcases floral and garden designs with global contributors competing for prizes. Lasting just one week, it was evident that participants took a lot of time to put together the exhibits, ranging from floral displays to the latest landscaping ideas to large fantasy gardens and back to plants displayed like bento boxes. There were\u00a0giant twirling floral arrangements in the lake\u00a0at the Gardens by the Bay and tons of garden gnomes in a rendition of the Secret Garden. This year&#8217;s event just ended\u00a0so we&#8217;ll have to wait until 2018 for the next edition. Here are some photos from this year&#8217;s festival.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3583\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
