THE Singapore Botanic Gardens will soon have enough new space to fit more than 20 football fields.
The Straits Times understands that the 11ha will come from land that was previously used by the Singapore Management University.
This abuts the current 63.7 ha Botanic Gardens on its northern edge, along Evans Road.
National Parks Board's chief executive officer Ng Lang let slip the nugget at the launch of Asia's first children's garden yesterday.

Take time to smell the roses - literally.
That seems to be the message to young children as a new haven for kids blossoms at the Botanic Gardens.
The Children's Garden - a first in Asia - is specially designed for children up to 12 years old.
The children's garden marks the end of a $100 million redevelopment of the Botanic Gardens, which has sat on its prime site just off Orchard Road since 1859.
The 11ha will mean new gardens in three or four years' time. Mr Ng declined to divulge more details, saying that information will be released later in the year.
