The exhibition allows for members of the public to learn more about the Gardens and also share their feedback on the suggested plans.

The roving exhibition will be held at Jurong Point till April 7.
It will then travel to HDB Hub (11 to 12 Apr), before making stops at Parkland Green at East Coast Park (18 to 19 Apr) and VivoCity (25 to 26 Apr).
The public can also submit their feedback on a microsite on the Jurong Lake Gardens. Through these channels, National Parks Board will also be seeking ideas from the community for the rest of Jurong Lake Gardens - Jurong Lake Gardens East and Central.
Chairman of the Jurong Lake District Steering Committee and Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Mr Lawrence Wong said the central part of the Gardens can be a place for community show gardens.
"For the Jurong Lake Gardens East, this will be the location of the new Science Centre. So we think that this part of the Gardens can feature science and nature, and it can provide a better linkage to the Science Centre. For example, we can showcase horticultural projects with new, innovative features at the Jurong Lake Gardens East," said Mr Wong.
Works on the Jurong Lake Gardens West are expected to be completed in 2017. The other parts of the Gardens will be completed in stages from 2020 onwards.
