Five good things to do in Singapore this weekend.
For 10 to 12 July: gardens, hundreds of makers, traditional dress, personal sarees and a quiet Orchard Road coffee.
-
Singapore Garden Festival
The festival's tenth edition fills Gardens by the Bay with show gardens and large floral displays. The separate Planters Market is free if you want a lighter visit.

Asia Art & Craft Fair
More than 400 makers bring ceramics, textiles, jewellery and paper goods to Suntec. Workshops give you a reason to stay after the first shopping lap.

Open Studio: The Saree Project
Personal and inherited sarees become records of care, body and family history. The artist is in the studio during the weekend, so ask about the stories behind the cloth.

The Community Coffee
The small upstairs brew bar keeps the focus on excellent single-origin filters. Good for a quiet reset on Orchard Road.
