Excerpt:

SINGAPORE – More than 350 plots across 15 gardens and parks in Singapore are now open for application from people who want to grow edible plants.

The National Parks Board (NParks) said on March 18 that applications can be submitted from 10am on March 19 till 11.59pm on April 1.

This is an expansion of the Allotment Gardening Scheme, which was launched in 2016 to allow people to rent a space to grow edible plants.

This time around, lots are available at sites such as East Coast Park and Jurong Central Park, with the most number at Jurong Lake Gardens, Punggol Park and Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West.

Each plot costs $62.13 a year and contains a raised planter bed – 2.5m x 1m in size – with soil and a mini storage area for tools, and can be held for three years.

Applications via AXS channels, such as e-Stations, m-Stations and kiosks, will be subjected to computerised balloting.

To date, more than 2,400 allotment gardening plots have taken root in 28 parks and gardens across Singapore, NParks said.

Since 2021, it has also worked with agencies, town councils and grassroots organisations to make the initiative even more accessible, with plots nearer to people’s homes.
