At Edible Garden City, urban farming is more than just a cool buzz word to us; it’s our whole way of life! With our sights firmly set on helping Singapore become more food resilient, we have what we believe is the future of farming, right here and now.
Join us as we share the secrets to success – under-utilised spaces, indoor farming systems and native plants. Get a head-start on joining the urban farming movement in Singapore, with the Ready, Set, Grow! Edible Garden City Talk & Tour!
Sip on a welcome drink brewed from locally-grown herbs, as our farmer brings you through our unique urban farming solution. Join as they share their journey to becoming an urban farmer, and anecdotes of a lesser-trodden path. Learn about the closed-loop and minimal-waste model of growing vegetables that we adopt here in our urban farm, and how farming could be used as a platform to create a more inclusive society.
Find out how we are reconnecting city dwellers with nature, and about sustainable farming systems such as regenerative agriculture and food forestry. Kickstart your own farm at home during the hands-on planting activity.
Make your own recyclable self-watering planter and bring home a pot with a plant cutting of your choice. For this segment, participants are reminded to bring any 1 litre plastic water bottle that they wish to recycle.
This tour is designed for young adults and adults aged 13 and above.
