The Singapore Cheshire Home has a small in-house Hydroponics Farm which is maintained by the residents as well as the volunteers. It aims to serve as an alternative hobby, diversion and at the same time, therapy. Fresh local vegetables such as Kai Lan, Xiao Bai Cai, Chinese Cabbage and butter head lettuce of about 20 kg are produced monthly. All seedlings and fertilizers are purchased from Oh’s Farm, a reputable local farm.
This month’s produce : Kai Lan
Date of harvesting and sale: 24 March 2008 (Monday)
Time: 9am - 9:30am
Venue: The Singapore Cheshire Home, Hydroponics Farm
Pricing:$2 per kg
We are also recruiting volunteers who are interested in assisting the residents in this area. We’ll love to have committed volunteers with lots of patience and green fingers who do not mind working outdoor, in short a nature lover. All we need from you is just one to two hours on an ad-hoc basis on certain weekday mornings. Be prepared to get your hands wet.
Come … try our home grown crops. We are sure you’ll be back for more!!!
