  Tue–Sun 9:30am–6:30pm · Dempsey Hill A New Place to Drink Matcha at Dempsey Hill — Surrounded by Flowers The Slow House at Maison Garden is now serving botanical matcha in Dempsey's only floral lifestyle sanctuary. Three cups for $12.00 — a good reason to slow down during the weekdays Tuesdays - Thursdays. By Maison Garden · Dempsey Hill, Singapore · April 2026 3 Botanical Matcha Drinks | $12.00 Something extraordinary is happening among the trees of Dempsey Hill. In a neighbourhood already famous for its lush colonial greenery, world-class restaurants, and escape-from-the-city energy, a new kind of café ritual is quietly taking root. At Maison Garden's The Slow House, Singapore's matcha obsession has found its most beautiful home yet. We're launching our 3-for-$12.00 botanical matcha promotion — and if you've been searching for the best matcha café in Dempsey Hill, or frankly in all of Singapore, this is your sign. "Matcha is no longer just a drink. In Singapore, it's become a ritual — and the right setting transforms a good matcha into an unforgettable one." ✿ ✿ ✿ Singapore Has Fallen Completely in Love with Matcha If it feels like matcha is everywhere in Singapore right now, that's because it genuinely is — and the trend shows no signs of slowing. 67% of Singapore tea drinkers rank green tea (including matcha) as their top choice, making Singapore the most matcha-enthusiastic market in all of Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, matcha menu items globally grew by over 30% year-on-year in 2025, and social conversations around the beverage have surged by over 100%. Time Out Singapore declared matcha "endemic" by late 2025. From strawberry matcha at hole-in-the-wall cafés to ceremonial-grade whisked tea at dedicated matcha houses, Singaporeans don't just drink matcha — they debate it, seek out premium grades, and build entire café trips around finding the best cup. Singaporeans are also the most willing to spend on it in the region: 62% are happy to pay up to $8 a cup, and a remarkable 10% will pay over $20 for the right matcha experience. At Maison Garden, we've been watching this matcha mania unfold — and we believe we've created something that elevates the experience beyond any other café in Dempsey Hill. When you sip matcha surrounded by fresh seasonal blooms, garden-grown herbs, and the quiet of one of Singapore's most beautiful nature enclaves, something shifts. It becomes more than a beverage. It becomes a moment. ✿ ✿ ✿ Three Botanical Matcha Drinks for $12.00 — Here's Why That Matters Matcha in Singapore typically costs between $6.50 and $9.00 per cup at cafés. At dedicated Japanese matcha houses near our area, you'll pay upwards of $12 for a single specialty serving. Our 3-for-$12.00 promotion — that's just $4.30 per cup — is designed with one intent: to invite you to slow down and truly experience what botanical matcha in a garden sanctuary feels like. The Slow House Café · Limited Promotion 3 for $12.00 Three botanical matcha drinks · Share with friends or savour solo · Available at The Slow House, Dempsey Hill Book a Table at The Slow House → Think of it as the perfect table for two or three — one round of beautiful, garden-inspired matcha, shared over flowers and conversation in one of Singapore's most unique café settings. The promotion is designed to be shared: bring a friend, a date, or your closest people to Dempsey, and let the matcha ritual begin. ✿ ✿ ✿ What Makes Maison Garden's Matcha Different from Every Other Café in Singapore? Singapore has excellent matcha. From Hvala's hushed Japanese minimalism to the playful strawberry matcha trend spreading through café-hopping Instagram feeds, the standard is genuinely high. So what does Maison Garden's The Slow House do differently? The botanical setting No café in Singapore — and certainly none in Dempsey Hill — is built around a living floral sanctuary the way Maison Garden is. You're drinking your matcha steps away from The Conservatory, our cold-room flower glasshouse where over 20 seasonal blooms are displayed daily. Fresh eucalyptus, garden roses, seasonal herbs, and greenery surround the space. The natural aromatics alone change how matcha tastes and feels. Slow living as a design principle The Slow House wasn't named casually. In a city that rarely stops, we built a café around the opposite impulse. The space is designed for lingering — soft natural light, botanical accents, unhurried service. When matcha is the right drink for slowing down (its L-theanine compound promotes calm focus without the coffee jitters), The Slow House is the right room to drink it in. The Dempsey Hill difference Dempsey Hill is Singapore's most beloved green enclave — a former British barracks transformed into a destination of restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and lifestyle spaces, all nestled among century-old trees. If you're coming from Orchard Road, Holland Village, or near the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Maison Garden at 13 Dempsey Road is a 10-minute drive or a pleasant walk through some of the city's most beautiful colonial-era greenery. There is, quite simply, no better place in Singapore to drink matcha slowly. Five reasons matcha at The Slow House is unlike any café in Dempsey Hill Surrounded by fresh seasonal blooms from The Conservatory glasshouse — Singapore's most immersive floral market The only café in Dempsey Hill with a dedicated floral-lifestyle identity — designed for slow, intentional visits No other matcha café in the neighbourhood offers the 3-for-$12.00 bundle — perfect for groups and dates Dog-friendly outdoor seating (and indoor for dogs in carriers/strollers) — ideal for weekend walks from the Botanic Gardens The full Maison Garden experience: after your matcha, hand-pick fresh flowers from the glasshouse to take home ✿ ✿ ✿ Planning Your Visit: How to Make a Day of It at Dempsey Hill Maison Garden pairs beautifully with a slow Dempsey Hill itinerary. Here's how to build the perfect day around your matcha visit. Morning — Singapore Botanic Gardens walk Start at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just minutes from Dempsey. The National Orchid Garden, the Ginger Garden, and the quiet rainforest trails are spectacular in the morning light. From the Botanic Gardens, it's a short walk or 5-minute Grab to Dempsey Road. Mid-morning — matcha & brunch at The Slow House Arrive at Maison Garden from 9:30am Tuesday through Sunday. Take your time over the 3-for-$12.00 botanical matcha. Order from The Slow House brunch menu — the Maison Club Panini and Herb Crusted Hamachi are beloved by regulars. Let the Crab Claw Orecchiette be your excuse to linger longer. After brunch — the Conservatory experience Step into The Conservatory — our walk-in flower glasshouse where you can hand-pick stems from over 20 seasonal blooms. Choose your flowers individually, or let our florists guide you to a seasonal bouquet. There's no rush, no pressure. Just you, the blooms, and the cool air of the glass room. Afternoon — explore Dempsey Hill Dempsey Hill offers over 20 restaurants, boutiques, and lifestyle destinations. Wander to RedSea Gallery for contemporary art, or stop by the Museum of Ice Cream if you're visiting with children. If the day calls for it, book a flower arrangement workshop at The Canvas — our light-filled event space designed for creative gatherings and intimate celebrations. Address 13 Dempsey Road, #01-01Singapore 249674 Opening hours (The Slow House) Tue–Sun: 9:30am–6:30pmClosed Mondays Getting here 10 min from Napier MRT (TE12)Shuttle from Holland V MRTParking available on-site Nearby landmarks Singapore Botanic GardensHolland VillageOrchard Road ✿ ✿ ✿ Why Dempsey Hill is Singapore's Next Great Matcha Destination Singapore's matcha café scene is clustered in two zones: the CBD and Tanjong Pagar area (Hvala, Matchaya, Kurasu, Smear'd, Cafe Yasuragi) and the Orchard–Somerset belt. West Singapore and the Dempsey–Holland Village–Botanic Gardens triangle have been significantly underserved for the matcha devotee. TSUJIRI Premium's Holland Village outlet is the closest dedicated matcha destination to Dempsey — and it's over 2km away, in a mall context rather than a nature setting. The Dempsey Hill cafés that do serve matcha treat it as a side item on a wider menu. Puzzle Coffee and Bellerbys House offer matcha, but it isn't central to their identity. What Dempsey Hill has lacked is a café that celebrates matcha the way the drink deserves — not as a trendy add-on, but as a slow, beautiful ritual. Singapore's best matcha experiences are defined by their settings as much as their sourcing. Hvala's hushed minimalism, TSUJIRI's Japanese heritage theatrics, Kurasu's Kyoto-born quiet. The Slow House at Maison Garden offers something none of them can: a living floral sanctuary in colonial greenery, where every sip comes wrapped in the scent of fresh blooms and the sound of rustling trees. "After trying matcha across a dozen Singapore cafés, nothing prepares you for drinking it in a room full of flowers. The experience is completely different." Singapore's matcha culture has matured past the novelty phase. What drives café choices now isn't just the grade of matcha or the quality of the milk — it's the experience architecture around the drink. Maison Garden was built as an experience, not a café that added an experience. That distinction matters, and matcha lovers will feel it the moment they walk through the door. ✿ ✿ ✿ Beyond Matcha: The Full Maison Garden Experience Maison Garden opened in mid-2025 as Singapore's first floral lifestyle sanctuary — and since then, it has quietly become one of the most talked-about new destinations in Dempsey Hill. Here's what awaits beyond The Slow House café. The Conservatory — Singapore's most beautiful flower market The walk-in Flower Glasshouse at the heart of Maison Garden is unlike anything else in Singapore. Over 20 seasonal blooms displayed daily in a cool, immersive space. Hand-pick individual stems — no minimum, no pressure — or choose from curated seasonal bundles. Floral subscriptions and gifting experiences are also available for those who want fresh flowers as a recurring ritual. The Canvas — private event space in Dempsey Hill Looking for a private event space in Dempsey Hill Singapore? The Canvas is our naturally lit, nature-inspired venue designed for corporate workshops, intimate celebrations, and creative gatherings. Flower arrangement workshops, team bonding sessions, and private dinners all find their perfect setting here. Enquire at enquiries@maisongarden.sg. Workshops — floral creativity for all skill levels From hand-tied bouquet workshops to mini vase arrangement sessions, Maison Garden's creative workshops are designed to give you a tactile, hands-on experience with flowers. They're perfect for date nights, team outings, and birthday groups. Check our workshop schedule here. ✿ ✿ ✿ Frequently Asked Questions about Maison Garden & Our Matcha Is Maison Garden the best café for matcha in Dempsey Hill? We're biased, but yes — it's the only café in Dempsey Hill that has built its entire identity around nature, flowers, and the slow experience. The 3-for-$12.00 botanical matcha promotion makes it one of the best-value matcha deals in all of Singapore too. What exactly is botanical matcha? Our matcha drinks at The Slow House are inspired by the botanical sanctuary around us — floral notes, garden-grown herbs from The Meadow, and a careful approach to preparation that honours both the matcha and the setting. Expect bright, clean flavour with a distinctly Maison Garden character. Can I come for just matcha, or is there a food minimum? There is no minimum. Come for a single matcha, stay for the flowers. The 3-for-$12.00 promotion is designed to encourage sharing, but you're welcome to enjoy the space on your own terms. Is Maison Garden near the Singapore Botanic Gardens? Yes — Maison Garden is approximately a 10-minute drive or short Grab ride from the Botanic Gardens MRT. It makes for a perfect morning pairing: Botanic Gardens walk followed by matcha at Dempsey. Do you have parking at Dempsey Hill? Yes, parking is available within the Dempsey Hill enclave. During peak weekend hours, arrive early to secure a spot. Maison Garden is also accessible via the Dempsey Hill shuttle bus from Holland Village MRT, Wheelock Place, and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Do not that the promo is not available during the weekends.  ✿ ✿ ✿ Come Slow Down With Us Singapore moves fast. The city rewards urgency. But some of the best things in life — a properly prepared cup of matcha, a room full of flowers, a quiet morning among trees — only reveal themselves to those willing to slow down. At Maison Garden, we built The Slow House as an act of quiet resistance to the pace of the city. The botanical matcha promotion isn't just a deal. It's an invitation to come as you are, sit among the blooms, and remember what it feels like when time doesn't press quite so hard. Three cups. Twelve dollars. One of Singapore's most beautiful settings.

Things to Do in Dempsey Hill Singapore — A Full Day Itinerary (2026) | Maison Garden Dempsey Hill, Singapore · Full Day Guide 2026 Things to Do in Dempsey Hill, Singapore A practical itinerary for a full day at Dempsey Hill — from the Singapore Botanic Gardens in the morning to floral workshops, gallery visits, brunch, and evening dining. By Maison Garden · Local Guide · April 2026 Dempsey Hill sits in a quiet corner of central Singapore that most people haven't fully explored. Set within the grounds of a former British army barracks — the buildings still intact, the trees mature and enormous — it holds a concentration of restaurants, cafés, art galleries, boutiques, and lifestyle spaces that rewards a proper day out, not just a quick lunch. This itinerary runs from 8am to 9pm. You can start later and do half of it, or slow down further and it becomes a full weekend day. Either way, Dempsey Hill is one of the few areas in Singapore where there's genuinely enough to fill a day without ever feeling rushed. — ✿ — The Full Day Itinerary 8:00 AM Singapore Botanic Gardens — Morning Walk Start at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that opens at 5am and is one of the world's great tropical gardens. The Heritage Trees walk, the Rainforest, and the ginger garden are all worth an hour. Dogs are welcome on leash throughout. Tip: The Botanic Gardens is about 10 minutes by car from Dempsey Hill, or a 25-minute walk via Cluny Road. 9:30 AM Maison Garden — Brunch & Botanical Matcha Head to Maison Garden's The Slow House at 13 Dempsey Road when it opens. The Slow House is designed for mornings like this — light-filled, surrounded by fresh flowers, with a brunch menu and botanical matcha (currently 3 for $12.90). Order the Maison Club Panini or the Herb Crusted Hamachi, and take your time. After brunch, walk into The Conservatory — Maison Garden's walk-in flower glasshouse — and hand-pick fresh seasonal blooms to take home. Over 20 varieties are available daily. Open Tue–Sun from 9:30am. Outdoor seating for dogs. 11:30 AM Flower Workshop at The Canvas If you've pre-booked a floral arrangement workshop at Maison Garden's The Canvas, this is when it starts. Sessions cover hand-tied bouquets, mini vase arrangements, and seasonal designs. Suitable for complete beginners — couples, groups of friends, and team outings all work well. Check the current workshop schedule here. Workshops need to be booked in advance. Enquire at enquiries@maisongarden.sg. 1:00 PM Art Galleries — RedSea Gallery & Gallery 26 RedSea Gallery at Dempsey Hill is one of Singapore's leading commercial art galleries, showing contemporary works with a strong Southeast Asian and Chinese focus. Entry is free and the space is worth a slow walk. Gallery 26 at 26 Dempsey Road has a Formula 1-inspired immersive experience — free admission, open Wednesday to Sunday. Both galleries are walkable from 13 Dempsey Road in under 10 minutes. 2:30 PM Boutique Shopping & Exploring Loewen Gardens The Loewen cluster at Dempsey Hill has evolved into its own lifestyle destination — pottery and art classes, boutique shops, and quieter corners away from the main Dempsey Road strip. Mr Bucket Chocolaterie at 13 Dempsey Road is worth a visit for their chocolate-making workshops and unusual confections. Dover Street Market is nearby for fashion and design. 4:00 PM Afternoon Coffee — Puzzle Coffee or Bellerbys House Puzzle Coffee on Loewen Road is Melbourne-style specialty roastery with generous indoor-outdoor seating — good for a slower afternoon coffee. For something more hidden and quieter, Bellerbys House in Loewen Gardens is a compact industrial café that suits working or reading. Both serve matcha if you're avoiding coffee. 6:00 PM Museum of Ice Cream (Optional — Families) If you're visiting with children, the Museum of Ice Cream at 100 Loewen Road is open daily from 10am to 6pm. Tickets start from $35. Unlimited ice cream, interactive installations, and a sprinkle pool that works for adults too. 7:00 PM Dinner — Take Your Pick Dempsey Hill's dinner options span a wide range. Candlenut (COMO Dempsey) is the go-to for a special occasion — Michelin-starred Peranakan cuisine in a gorgeous setting. Tinto on Dempsey Road is excellent for Spanish sharing plates and lobster paella in a warmly decorated veranda. Violet Oon Dempsey serves family-style Peranakan for a more relaxed celebration. All three require reservations, especially on weekends. Book at least 1–2 weeks ahead for Candlenut. — ✿ — Quick-Reference Activity Guide All the things to do at Dempsey Hill, at a glance Brunch or matcha at The Slow House, Maison Garden (Tue–Sun 9:30am–6:30pm) Walk-in flower market at The Conservatory, Maison Garden Floral arrangement workshop at The Canvas, Maison Garden (booking required) Contemporary art at RedSea Gallery (free entry) F1 immersive experience at Gallery 26 (free, Wed–Sun) Chocolate-making workshop at Mr Bucket Chocolaterie Museum of Ice Cream at 100 Loewen Road (ticketed) Specialty coffee at Puzzle Coffee, Loewen Road Morning walk from Singapore Botanic Gardens (UNESCO World Heritage) Dinner at Candlenut, Tinto, or Violet Oon Dempsey Shopping at Dover Street Market Singapore — ✿ — Getting to Dempsey Hill — Practical Notes By MRT Napier MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line, TE12). 20-minute walk or take bus 7, 75, or 105 towards Dempsey Road.

Private Event Spaces in Dempsey Hill Singapore — Venues for Every Occasion (2026) | Maison Garden Event Venue Guide · Dempsey Hill Singapore · 2026 Private Event Spaces in Dempsey Hill, Singapore Planning a corporate workshop, private celebration, or team outing at Dempsey Hill? Here's a practical guide to the best event spaces available — with capacities, contact details, and what makes each one right for different occasions. By Maison Garden · Event Venue Guide · April 2026 Dempsey Hill has become one of Singapore's most popular areas for private events — and it's not hard to understand why. The setting alone does much of the work. Colonial-era buildings, mature tree canopies, open lawns, and a genuine remove from the city's usual pace create a backdrop that most conventional function rooms simply can't replicate. Whether you're planning a corporate workshop, a team bonding session, a birthday dinner, or an intimate private celebration, Dempsey Hill has options across a wide range of sizes and styles. This guide covers each one honestly — capacity, contact, and what each space is genuinely best suited for. — ✿ — The Canvas at Maison Garden — Botanical Workshop & Private Events Space The Canvas at Maison Garden Workshops · Intimate Events · Floral Best for 10–60 pax Setting Indoor, natural light Event types Workshops, corporate, celebrations Catering In-house (The Slow House) The Canvas is Maison Garden's dedicated event space — a light-filled, nature-inspired room designed for meaningful gatherings rather than conventional function hall events. The space has hosted corporate team bonding sessions (floral arrangement workshops are a consistent favourite), intimate family celebrations, Christmas garden markets, and creative workshops. What sets The Canvas apart from other Dempsey Hill event spaces is the botanical context — guests arrive into a floral sanctuary, can browse The Conservatory flower glasshouse before or after their event, and the décor of the space itself leans into natural materials, soft light, and greenery. It's a particularly strong choice for companies wanting a creative, non-boardroom team bonding experience. The Slow House café can provide in-house catering — brunch spreads, botanical drinks, and light bites — to accompany any event. An event kit is available for download on the website.

Dempsey Hill, Singapore · Updated April 2026 The Complete Guide to Cafés in Dempsey Hill, Singapore Lush greenery, colonial buildings, and more than 20 cafés and restaurants to explore. Here's where to eat, drink, and slow down at Dempsey Hill in 2026. By Maison Garden · Local Guide · April 2026 Dempsey Hill is one of Singapore's most distinctive neighbourhoods for a café visit. Set within the grounds of a former British army barracks, its red-brick colonial buildings, canopy of trees, and absence of the usual mall-and-MRT bustle make it feel genuinely different from most of the city. The result is a café scene that rewards slowing down — leisurely brunches, long coffees, and afternoons spent wandering between spaces. This guide covers every café worth visiting at Dempsey Hill in 2026, organised by what you're looking for. We've also included practical notes on getting there, parking, and how to combine a café visit with the rest of the day. — ✿ — The Slow House at Maison Garden — Botanical Café & Matcha Bar Maison Garden — The Slow House Botanical · Brunch · Matcha Address: 13 Dempsey Road, #01-01 Hours: Tue–Sun, 9:30am–6:30pm Price: $$ Maison Garden opened in 2025 as Singapore's only floral lifestyle sanctuary, combining a walk-in flower market, café, event space, and workshops under one roof.

The current promotion, 3 botanical matcha drinks for $12, makes it one of the better-value matcha stops in Dempsey. The café is built around the idea of slowing down: unhurried service, natural materials, and the scent of fresh blooms from the adjacent Conservatory glasshouse.

Best for: Wellness-minded visitors, organic produce shopping, families, dog-friendly outdoor seating. — ✿ — Baker & Cook Dempsey — Artisan Bakery Café Baker & Cook Bakery · Brunch · Family Address: 30C Loewen Road Price: $$ Baker & Cook has a strong following among Dempsey regulars.

Iced matcha ($6.50), good iced lattes, kaya toast, and pastries. No full meals, but solid drinks and bakes. Best for: Working remotely, quiet afternoon, non-coffee drinkers wanting matcha. — ✿ — The Dempsey Project — All-Day Dining with a Cosmopolitan Menu The Dempsey Project All-Day Dining · Pet-Friendly · Events Address: 9 Dempsey Road Hours: Daily, 8am–8pm (weekdays), 8am–9pm (weekends) Price: $$–$$$ A sprawling 7,000 sq ft all-day dining space with a cosmopolitan menu spanning 15 cuisines, a walk-in cheese room, specialty matcha, single-origin teas, and an outdoor pet-friendly veranda.

Best for: Groups, all-day dining, pet-friendly outdoor seating, private events. — ✿ — Practical Guide: Getting to Dempsey Hill Dempsey Hill is intentionally tucked away — there's no MRT stop at its door, which is part of what keeps it feeling like a retreat. Here's how to get there. By MRT Napier MRT (TE12) — 20 min walk, or take a bus from the station to Dempsey Road. Free shuttle bus From Holland Village MRT, Wheelock Place, and Singapore Botanic Gardens. Check dempseyhill.com for schedules. By Grab / taxi Set destination as 13 Dempsey Road. Ample drop-off and parking throughout the enclave. Parking Free surface parking available across the estate. Can fill up on weekend mornings — arrive by 10am for easy parking. Tip: Combine a Dempsey Hill café visit with a morning walk through the Singapore Botanic Gardens (about 10 minutes by car). The Botanic Gardens opens at 5am — arrive early, walk the Heritage Trees trail or the National Orchid Garden, then drive or Grab to Dempsey for brunch. — ✿ — What Makes Dempsey Hill Different from Other Café Areas in Singapore? Singapore has excellent café clusters — Tiong Bahru, Joo Chiat, Duxton Hill, Holland Village. What separates Dempsey Hill is the setting. The colonial architecture, the mature tree canopy, and the absence of mall-anchored foot traffic create a quieter, more intentional atmosphere. Cafés here tend to be larger, more sprawling, and designed with outdoor seating in mind. It's also one of the few areas in Singapore where a full half-day or full-day outing makes sense — café brunch, gallery visit, flower market, workshop, afternoon walk. The area rewards exploration at a pace that most of the city doesn't allow. "Dempsey Hill is the place in Singapore where it still feels possible to have a long, unscheduled morning." For café-hoppers based in Orchard, Holland Village, or the Botanic Gardens area, Dempsey is already a natural destination. For those making the trip from further afield, the range and quality of what's available here — and the green, colonial-era setting — makes it one of the most rewarding café days the city offers. Visiting Dempsey Hill? Start at Maison Garden Botanical matcha, fresh flowers, brunch at The Slow House. Open Tue–Sun, 9:30am–6:30pm at 13 Dempsey Road.

There are days when slowing down feels like exactly what you need — letting the hours stretch, wandering without a plan, and enjoying things as they come. Dempsey Hill is perfect for that, with its quiet corners, good food, and just enough space to explore without feeling rushed. If you’re spending the day there, here’s a simple itinerary for taking it slow and making the most of it at your own pace.  Morning: Pilates & a Gentle Start Start your day with a calming Pilates session surrounded by Dempsey’s lush greenery. It’s the perfect way to wake up your body and ease into the day with intention. Drop by PowerMoves Pilates for mat or reformer classes designed to strengthen, tone, and restore. Their sessions focus on core strength, posture, and flexibility — all within a tranquil, nature-filled setting. Afterwards, take your time — no rushing. Let the morning feel soft and unstructured. Late Morning: Coffee & Brunch Ease into late morning with a slow brunch at one of Dempsey’s cosy cafés. Spots like Baker & Cook or PS.Cafe offer warm coffee, comforting plates, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for lingering. Bring a book, journal, or simply sit back and enjoy doing nothing for a while. Midday: Dover Street Market Head over to Dover Street Market for a different kind of experience. More than just retail, it’s a curated space where fashion, art, and design intersect. Browse at your own pace, explore installations, and discover pieces that spark inspiration. Even without shopping, it’s worth the visit. Afternoon: Art, Experiences or Nature Walks For a slower afternoon, explore a few nearby spots at your own pace: ✿ Visit Gallery 26 for an immersive Formula 1-inspired experience ✿ Wander through RedSea Gallery and take in contemporary art pieces ✿ Take a short ride to the Singapore Botanic Gardens for a peaceful nature walk Keep it flexible — this part of the day is about wandering without a strict plan. Evening: Slow Moments & Intimate Spaces As the day winds down, head back to Dempsey Hill for a softer, more intimate evening. You may find yourself at a small gathering, creative workshop, or a quiet dinner with friends. Spaces like Maison Garden offer a warm, thoughtful setting for these moments, with event space available for private gatherings and workshops. You can also walk into their floral market, pick fresh blooms, and create your own bouquet—a little treat for yourself. It’s less about doing more, and more about ending the day on a calm, meaningful note. A Day to Romanticise Dempsey Hill is more than a destination — it’s a place to slow down and simply be. A place to slow down, to savour, and to create space for moments that matter. So move gently, stay a little longer, and let the day unfold naturally. Because sometimes, the most meaningful days are the ones where nothing is rushed — and everything is felt. 

Not every home calls for grand gestures. But even the smallest spaces can bloom beautifully — with the right flowers, in the right quantities, placed with intention. Whether you're in a studio apartment, a cosy walk-up, or simply beginning your floral journey, styling flowers in your space is about presence. One well-placed bloom can soften a room, shift its energy, and make it entirely your own. Here’s how to bring beauty home, no matter the square footage. 1. Bedside Blooms for Soft Mornings Begin and end the day with something gentle. A single-stem vase or petite bud arrangement on your nightstand adds a quiet elegance without taking up precious space. ✿ Maison Garden’s Pick: A blushing ranunculus or garden rose — chosen individually from our flower market for its delicate, calming presence. Styling tip: Pair it with your favourite book or a ceramic catch-all for a composed, intentional vignette. 2. Bathroom Bud Vases for Self-Care Moments Bathrooms are often overlooked, yet they are the most personal spaces in the home. A sprig of eucalyptus or a single tulip by the sink turns everyday rituals into something indulgent. ✿ Maison Garden’s Pick: A petite selection of lavender, chamomile, or one elegant stem — handpicked in the quantity that fits your shelf perfectly. Styling tip: Tuck it beside your skincare essentials or perch it lightly at the mirror’s edge. 3. Entryway Florals That Say “Welcome Home” Even the simplest entryway deserves warmth. A modest vase of cheerful stems creates a return-home ritual that feels considered and inviting. ✿ Maison Garden’s Pick: A small, sunny mix of mini gerberas, baby’s breath, or spray carnations — selected stem by stem to suit your space. Styling tip: Opt for a low, stable vase that sits comfortably beside your keys and daily essentials. 4. Dining Nook Stems That Don’t Overcrowd In intimate dining areas, restraint is everything. Choose narrow silhouettes or a few thoughtfully spaced stems to bring life without clutter. ✿ Maison Garden’s Pick: Three mismatched stems — perhaps nerines, lisianthus, or even soft greens — gathered in individual bud vases for an airy tablescape. Styling tip: Odd numbers create natural balance while keeping the setting effortless.     Styling flowers in a small space isn’t about abundance, it’s about intention. At Maison Garden’s flower market, you are invited to select only what you need, in the quantities that feel right for you. One flower, placed with care, can hold more magic than the fullest bouquet.  

At Maison Garden, The Canvas is more than an event space — it is a light-filled setting designed for meaningful gatherings and beautifully curated experiences. Framed by soft botanical touches and bathed in natural daylight, the space offers a versatile yet intimate backdrop where ideas unfold effortlessly. Over time, The Canvas has transformed to reflect the spirit of each occasion it hosts. During the festive season, it became a charming Christmas garden market — thoughtfully styled to evoke warmth and quiet magic. A curated selection of brands joined us, presenting handcrafted gifts, seasonal delights, and floral accents that captured the joy of the holidays. The atmosphere was lively yet cosy, inviting guests to linger, explore, and leave with a treasured find. Beyond seasonal markets, The Canvas has welcomed corporate team bonding sessions and intimate family gatherings alike. Each event is carefully tailored to suit its host. Companies often engage in our signature floral workshops, learning to craft and style their own mini vase arrangements — a creative pause from the everyday. Families, meanwhile, gather around the table to create together in a relaxed, hands-on setting, where conversation flows as naturally as the blooms. What sets The Canvas apart is its ability to adapt — a blank slate elevated by thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and a subtle botanical charm that makes every event feel considered and personal. Should you wish to host your next gathering with us, we would be delighted to explore your vision. Reach us at enquiries@maisongarden.sg or 9058 5158 to begin the conversation.

Step into Maison Garden and you’re immediately welcomed by The Conservatory — our enchanting cold room, where fresh seasonal blooms hang delicately in a cool, calming embrace. More than just a floral display, it is an immersive garden experience designed for guests to wander, admire, and personally handpick their chosen stems. Within this glass theatre of flowers, over 20 exquisite daily blooms take centre stage. Each stem is thoughtfully curated for its character, texture, and beauty — from sculptural silhouettes to soft, romantic petals. It is a space created for those who crave romance, revel in artistry, and appreciate the quiet drama of nature in full expression. The Conservatory invites a slower, more intentional way of choosing flowers. Guests may select individual stems to craft their own bouquet, or opt for our seasonal bundles — specially curated and artfully paired by our team for effortless elegance. For those looking to deepen their floral journey, we also offer a carefully considered selection of floral tools and merchandise, blending practicality with beautiful design. Beyond single visits, Maison Garden offers bespoke floral subscriptions and gifting experiences, transforming fresh blooms into a recurring ritual rather than a rare indulgence. While The Conservatory remains the heart of Maison Garden, guests may also enjoy a light café offering of coffee, teas, and refreshments — a gentle complement to the floral experience. Adjacent to the space is The Canvas, our naturally lit event venue that has hosted intimate gatherings and creative workshops, often elevated with our signature mini flower vase sessions. At its core, Maison Garden is a sanctuary for flower lovers — a place to step into cool air, wander among blooms, and leave with something beautiful in hand.

In a city where life moves fast, we longed for a space that invites people to slow down, reconnect with nature, and be inspired. That desire became Maison Garden - a space born from the belief that floral artistry and mindful living can be woven seamlessly into our everyday.
