Edible Garden City champions the "Grow Our Own" movement – believing that growing your own food will reconnect one with nature, conserve natural resources, and cultivate a sense of community.
To do so, EGC’s Foodscaping team has built over 200 edible gardens for restaurants, hotels, schools, office buildings, and private residential homes, their Farm Production team grows fresh produce throughout Singapore, and their Education team drives a range of workshops and events from school farming programmes to corporate workshops, volunteer opportunities to full-on apprenticeships – to share the love for growing your own.
