Supporting Garden Build in Naval Base Primary School
Malaysia
Apr 2021
 | With the success of CHIJ Kellock’s edible garden, Lam Soon embarked on its second project with Edible Garden City and Naval Base Primary School. The garden is strategically built on the open space nestled between 2 classroom blocks, providing high visibility and an enticing invite for students and teachers to visit the garden during their break time. |
| Named “Garden of Hope”, the garden was officially launched on 30th April 2021. The garden boasts a wide variety of vegetables ranging from Bak Choy and Kang Kong to various herbs. On top of featuring the wonders of home-grown greens, it also provides a space for hands-on learning and exciting after-school enrichment programmes. The harvest from the garden is packed for Nee Soon’s very own community refrigerator that serves the underprivileged residents in the neighborhood. This cultivates the invaluable virtue of giving back, that extends beyond the classroom and textbooks. |  (image with courtesy of Naval Base Primary School) |
