About the Programme
This workshop is suitable for participants aged 50 and above.
As a nation that relies largely on food imports, Singapore must step up local production of food in order to avoid the repercussions of supply chain disruptions and climate change. Arise & Farm was thus created to teach the local community basic farming skills through different activities and learning journeys. This session will focus on the growing of edible plants from a hobbyist perspective, where you will learn how to grow and tend to a variety of edible herbs and shrubs.
No prior experience with farming or gardening needed to join. All necessary materials will be provided.
About Arise & FarmSupported by the Neta Foundation, Arise & Farm is an initiative started in 2001 that aims to spread the knowledge of farming to residents in Singapore and encourage them to explore farming as a hobby at home. Arise & Farm hopes to help Singapore achieve food security through galvanising the community to grow its own food.
