# Gardens at Marina South
THE largest of the three gardens, this 54ha garden is located next to the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. It is designed by Britain-based design firm Grant Associates and highlights include its 18 SuperTrees and two conservatories - one will be dry, the other moist.
# Gardens at Marina East
LOCATED on the western bank of the Marina Barrage, this 32ha garden by Britain-based design firm Gustafson Porter will have a more serene ambience with terraced water gardens. Work on the garden will start after Gardens at Marina South is completed.
# Gardens at Marina Centre
AT 15ha, this is the smallest of the three gardens. Its 2.8km waterfront promenade starts near the Esplanade - Theatres by the Bay and winds towards Kallang Basin. Its design will be firmed up at a later date.
