Changi Airport – a Headline Partner of FTE APEX Asia Expo, Singapore, 19-20 November 2024 – has been transformed into a blooming spectacle with its first-ever flower-themed showcase lasting until 30 September 2024.
‘A Sunflower Sojourn’ features over 5,000 sunflowers of more than 10 varieties, arranged at over 20 locations across all four terminals. The showcase extends outdoors to Hub & Spoke, making it the largest sunflower showcase ever held in an airport. At the departure halls of Terminals 2 and 3, visitors are treated to stunning floral displays, featuring larger-than-life sunflower topiary sculptures, towering at five and eight metres tall respectively.
From the classic bright yellow ‘Sunrise’, to the rare red and yellow ‘Florenza’ and the delicate pastel pink ‘Strawberry Blonde’, all these blooms are meticulously grown in Changi Airport’s own plant nursery. Apart from enjoying the marvel of these bright, cheerful blooms, visitors can also discover its cultural significance, ecological importance and the diverse human uses of this remarkable plant.
Sunflowers have been synonymous with Changi Airport since the opening of the Sunflower Garden at the Terminal 2 departure transit area in 2002.
“Our lush gardens at Changi Airport have always been more than just a feature – they are an experience that embodies the warmth and hospitality of our airport,” said Mr Ang Siew Min, Senior Vice President of Airport Operations Development, Changi Airport Group. “We are thrilled to unveil this vibrant Sunflower Sojourn display, as an extension of the Sunflower Garden to the other parts of the airport. The sunflower, a symbol of joy and cheerfulness, perfectly aligns with our service philosophy of delivering delightful and positively surprising experiences to all visitors.”
