Where It All Begins..
It was a depressing love story from a long time ago.
There was a great war in a certain country, and a brave man had to leave his wife behind to defend his homeland.
They grew into huge trees full of fruits with the same beautiful red seeds.

Getting The Story
The search for the declining population of the Saga Tree was tough. But after liaising with various staffs from the Singapore Npark, we managed to find the specific locations of the Saga Trees in both Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning Park.
It was with the search of the Saga Trees and our potential interviewees in mind that we set off for our expedition on Friday morning.
We arrived at Fort Canning Park around 10am.
Undaunted, we went in search of the Saga Tree. We were fortunate to locate tree, capture some footage and pictures and also manage to secure an interview with a morning jogger.
After lunch, we proceeded to our next destination - the Botanic Gardens.
Once again, we were unable to catch hold of any staff for interview. However, it was not all for naught as we found out why Saga Trees are no longer suitable as roadside trees.
Hence, we decided to interview our parents and family members instead.
