Show Gardens: All-Stars Edition

Last updated on 9 July 2026

Show Garden ‘Origami Paper Sailboat’ by Inch Lim (Malaysia)

The Show Gardens competition is a hallmark event of the Singapore Garden Festival (SGF), featuring garden displays by award-winning local and international garden and landscape designers. It debuted at the first edition of SGF in 2006, and has been a mainstay at every subsequent edition of the festival since.

With SGF marking its milestone 10th edition in 2026, the iconic competition returned with an All-Stars edition, featuring eight previous “Best of Show” winners vying for the prestigious Pinnacle Award.

This year’s Show Gardens: All-Stars Edition was held in July at Gardens by the Bay, where designers presented gardens that reflect their creativity, styles and cultural influences, with support from local implementing partners. Designers were judged based on their application of horticultural design principles, planting concepts and the quality of plants showcased.

Congratulations to all our award-winning designers and their local implementing partners.
