“The greatest change we need is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens.” Bill Mollision

We have transformed a forgotten backyard right in Changi Village which was an underutilised green space into a productive edible landscape. Permaculture (short for “permanent culture”) is in the context of gardening or farming, a sustainable and regenerative approach that creates abundance over time. With this approach, we harvest on-site resources like water, food “waste”, organic material etc, to create fertility and enable you to harvest a yield, even on degraded and waterlogged soil.

We hope to empower our participants with an experience that will kickstart their own inquiry journey of “Why grow your food?” A food garden offers numerous benefits to individvuals and the environment. Beyond the ability to harvest your own chemical-free, high quality food, food gardens achieve an ecological balance and become new habitats for biodiversity when designed to mimic our natural, native environment. Growing your own food also cultivates a connection to land and offers a calming respite from all the concrete, glass and steel that is all too prevelant.

This workshop will provide our participants a good introduction in Soil Management, Growing organic vegetable, Sowing / Transplanting, Maintenance & Harvesting vegetables. So, be prepared to be blown away by the variety of our native edibles and superfoods you never knew existed and learn how easily it is to farm sustainably using permaculture in Singapore!
