Botanical Workshop: Leaves You Captive
Imagine you step out of your home one fine morning, and discover almost immediately that all the grasses in your neighbourhood have somehow disappeared. Imagine being greeted by the endless lines of trees standing on nothing but bare soil as you sped pass them in your car, bus or train across Singapore.

I can imagine the shock and commotion it would have aroused. Everywhere, everyone would be talking about nothing except the disappearance of the grasses. Just grass... grass... grass...

Imagine again that you woke up in bed suddenly and realised that it was all but a bad dream. The grass would have looked greener than green as you step out of the house that day. Your journey to school, to work
or play, would have been refreshingly different. You would have had a new and profound look at the grasses that greet you at every turn.
Green Green Grass of Home takes stock of the importance grasses have on our lives. The talk presents a refreshing look at the great diversity and beauty of the grass species that can be found in the rain forests, wetlands, open grasslands and seashores in Singapore, and help explain the special structures grass is made up of, which set it apart from other flowering plants. Welcome to the world of grasses!
