Singapore Botanic Gardens as Heritage Site

Turning adjectives into numbers...

UNESCO Inspector: Amazing place. The orchids, the healing gardens and the double use of “eco” to mean “ecological” and “economic.”

Lee: It’s a historic place. It’s big. It’s got a lot of variety. It’s very popular.

UNESCO Inspector: How old? How big? How much variety? How many visitors?

Lee: OK. It’s 150 years old, it covers 150 hectares, there are 10,000 species, it gets 4.5 million visitors each year.

UNESCO Inspector: Fair enough. I think it passes.
