AI image by LocalRankFrom sprawling garden centres in the Sungei Tengah and Thomson nursery belts to boutique indoor shops and delivery-only online stores, plant nurseries in Singapore cater to every kind of gardener. This guide rounds up ten established, currently-operating nurseries and plant shops, noting what each one grows and stocks, whether you can walk in or order online, and the sort of plant lover it suits best. Treat it as a shortlist, not a strict ranking.
1. World Farm
World Farm is one of Singapore's largest retail garden centres, running walk-in outlets at Jurong and in the Sungei Tengah nursery belt alongside an online store. It stocks a huge, general range that spans indoor foliage such as pothos, philodendron and alocasia, outdoor and flowering plants and herbs, plus pots, potting soil, fertilisers and tools. The company bills itself as Singapore's largest-variety garden centre, which makes it a practical one-stop for both new and experienced gardeners.

2. Ban Nee Chen
Ban Nee Chen is a long-running garden centre and landscaping business best known for its sprawling Sixth Avenue nursery, with further retail outlets and larger growing nurseries around the island. The company says it has been in the trade for more than half a century, and its yards carry a broad mix of indoor and outdoor plants, trees and shrubs, pots and plant-care supplies. Alongside retail it runs landscaping and plant-rental services for homes and commercial clients.

3. The Green Corner
The Green Corner is the retail arm of long-established landscaping firm Prince's Landscape, selling through a garden centre in the Sungei Tengah nursery area and a full online shop. Its range runs from easy indoor plants like aglaonema and sansevieria to more exotic aroids such as Alocasia Frydek and Monstera, backed by its own soil line, pots, fertilisers and repotting help. It describes itself as a home for local plant enthusiasts, pairing hobbyist retail with the group's landscaping expertise.
4. Candy Floriculture
Candy Floriculture is a garden shop and nursery on Thomson Road, part of the long-standing cluster of nurseries in the Thomson area, and it sells online as well. Its plant range is unusually broad for a single shop, taking in orchids, succulents, cacti, ferns, herbs and larger indoor and outdoor foliage, and it says it also carries rare and house plants and specialty Japanese plants. Pots, planting media, fertilisers and re-potting round out the offering.
5. Island Landscape & Nursery
Island Landscape & Nursery is a veteran garden centre off Thomson at Joan Road, in the same nursery belt as several other Thomson growers, and it sells online too. The group says it has been greening homes and offices since 1976 and is known for pioneering hydroculture, so its retail floor leans towards indoor foliage suited to local interiors alongside outdoor plants, soil and water features. It also runs plant rental and landscape design for offices and homes.
6. Nyee Phoe Flower Garden
Nyee Phoe Flower Garden is a large horticulture and landscaping group whose retail garden centre sits on a big plot along Neo Tiew Crescent in the rural north-west. The family business says it traces its roots to 1911, and its nursery carries trees, palms, shrubs, groundcovers, climbers and water plants, plus pots and gardening materials for building up a garden. It is more of a destination nursery for outdoor and landscape planting than a compact houseplant boutique.
7. Littlebotany
Littlebotany is a boutique plant business that grew from an Instagram community into a small chain of neighbourhood shops backed by an online store. It focuses on indoor foliage, including aroids and hardy air-cleaning plants such as snake plants, sold alongside pots and plant-care kits, and it runs regular botany and pottery workshops. The brand is also known for its self-service plant vending machines placed in a few malls around town.
8. Tumbleweed Plants
Tumbleweed Plants is an independent, delivery-first houseplant retailer that fulfils orders islandwide rather than from a large walk-in yard. Its catalogue centres on easy-care indoor and outdoor plants in a wide range of sizes, paired with one of the larger local selections of decorative pots and planters plus plant-care essentials. It also offers add-on services such as home repotting and plant styling, which suits newer plant owners setting up a space.
9. Soilboy
Soilboy is a design-led indoor plant shop with a store at Kim Yam Road near River Valley and an online store for islandwide orders. It curates easy-care houseplants and foliage and pairs them with a tightly chosen range of ceramic planters, soil mixes and modular plant stands, leaning into styling rather than volume. Hands-on workshops and a focus on low-maintenance greenery make it approachable for first-time indoor gardeners.

10. The Garden Store
The Garden Store is an online garden shop, the retail front of long-running local supplier Chin Ling Nursery, delivering across Singapore with self-collection also available. It leans practical rather than boutique, carrying potted indoor and edible plants, terracotta and other pots, seeds, soil, fertilisers and gardening tools in one place. That mix makes it handy for gardeners restocking supplies as well as buying plants.
How to choose
- Decide whether you want to browse in person or buy online: big garden centres in the Sungei Tengah and Thomson nursery belts let you inspect and compare plants, while delivery-first shops are easier if you already know what you want.
- Match the shop to the plants you are after, since a general garden centre covers outdoor plants, trees and bulk soil, whereas boutique shops tend to specialise in indoor foliage, aroids and rare houseplants.
- Check the plant's health before you commit: look for firm stems, fresh new growth and pest-free undersides of leaves, and ask staff about the light and watering it needs in Singapore's climate.
- Factor in pots, soil and transport: confirm the nursery sells the right pot size and potting mix, and plan how large or heavy plants will get home, as many stores offer delivery for bulkier orders.
- For rare or exotic plants, ask about the plant's source and whether it has been acclimatised locally, and expect prices and availability to shift as stock changes.
