[GESS Sustainability] GESS is thrilled to announce the launch of the Urban Sensory Garden @ GESS! 🌿🌱 This outdoor classroom is designed to engage students in hands-on learning experiences, where they can plant, care for, and harvest vegetables and herbs for our school canteen. The garden features a Sensory Garden, Gardening Plot, Outdoor Learning Classroom, and Vertical Green, all aimed at fostering environmental awareness and sustainability. This initiative provides our students with the opportunity to learn about food, nature, and the environment while contributing to our school's commitment to sustainability. 🌍💚 #GESSSustainability #GESSFreedomToGrow

Absolutely thrilled to see our new Urban Sensory Garden officially launched and incredibly proud to have played a role in bringing it to life. The garden is a continuation of our sustainability journey @ GESS, providing hands-on experience for our students. From planting to harvesting, the garden demonstrates a circular economy in action while serving as a real venue for teaching and learning. Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this amazing project and a big shout out to the team at EDIBLE GARDEN CITY for partnering with GESS to build the garden.

How does it feel to be sporting a luxury timepiece, one of a hundred ever made? Wore a 6 figure sum Cartier Timepiece for the special Cartier advocacy feature on luxury lifestyle magazine a+. Did I enjoy the opportunity to wear one of a hundred limited edition Cartier watch for the photo shoot… Am contended to be back to reality wearing my bespoke one and only 30 yr old Concord watch ; a special gift from the love of my life. Fulfillment through purpose in life has guided me to EDIBLE GARDEN CITY. EGC is a social enterprise that champions the `Grow Your Own Food' movement . Since 2012, we have positively impacted the community through our work: turned around 270 under-utilized spaces in schools, businesses and welfare homes into green community spaces, and imparted knowledge on the joy and benefits of growing food to more than 36,000 education and therapeutic horticulture workshop participants Like my one and only Concord watch , this is my once in a lifetime opportunity to inspire Sporeans to grow our own food. One and only.

Edible Garden City wishes you a Pentas-tic 2025! 💐 May your dreams and aspirations flourish in the new year, and wherever life plants you, new opportunities blossom with each step! #HappyNewYear2025 #EdibleGardenCity #GrowWithEGC #Illustration #EgyptianStarFlower

It’s a wrap for 2024 and here are some iconic moments, as we celebrate 12 years championing the ‘Grow Your Own Food’ movement, and impacting the community! We’ve come some way from our days as Citizen Farm and strengthened the focus on our core pillars of Education, Foodscaping, Food production and Therapeutic Horticulture. Huge thanks and appreciation to Tiong Bahru Bakery, for their generous sponsorship vouchers for the celebration of this milestone. Our farmers interacted with people from all over Singapore and occasionally from other parts of the world too with farm tours hosted in our Queenstown farm, the 1-Arden Chef’s Garden (the World’s highest urban farm located at CapitaSpring), and our first foraging tour at the Raffles City rooftop farm and the Funan Urban Farm, organised in partnership with MSE’s GoGreenSG event. Community focus underpins many of our activities. As strong advocates for lifelong learning, we curated programmes for several Active Ageing Centres. We also held our first farm x gym workout fundraiser with REVL for The Turning Point, a women’s halfway house. We had our moment in the limelight when our youthful Head of Programming was featured in a nationwide Yeo’s campaign alongside a national athlete. We also had the honour of receiving the Impact Enterprise Excellence Award (SME), awarded by Business Times and UOB Bank at the Sustainability Impact Awards 2024. We also brought edible gardens closer to students from Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), German European International School and Infant Jesus Village, just to name a few. We also built the island’s first sea-facing edible garden on the southern coastline at the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa - ‘shore’ cool! Our heartfelt thanks go out to all those who celebrated this milestone with us, and who have supported us on this journey.💚🌿 Here’s to achieving greater heights and inspiring more people in the year 2025!✨

Thank you for sharing the joys of gardening with your family and friends, being a part of the Grow Your Own Food movement and growing with us in 2024! Your participation in our farm tours, workshops and support for our work keeps us inspired and committed to building greater communities and memories for the new year. But for now, let's recharge and spend a jolly time with our loved ones, Merry Christmas everyone! 

Students from Bedok Green Secondary School with a passion for gardening, participated in a farm tour and plating session led by Chef de Cuisine VINCENT WONG at Horizon Club, Shangri-La Singapore’s exclusive lounge for club room guests. Chef Vincent, a seasoned culinary expert with 22 years of experience under his belt, currently leads a team of six at Horizon Club, specialising in French, Italian, and Avant Garde cuisine in semi-fine to fine dining settings. Shangri-La Singapore, with a strong commitment to sustainability and health, embraces a farm-to-table concept. Horizon Club works with local farms like Edible Garden City to supply them locally grown, pesticide-free produce, minimising the need for long-distance transportation, reducing carbon footprint, and ensuring freshness. The students learnt about food security and sustainability concepts during the farm tour facilitated by EGC while Chef Vincent shared his culinary inspirations, career journey, and aspirations with the students. He also guided the students through a hands-on process of creating dishes from planning, theming, prepping to plating. The students then enjoyed tasting the Japanese Crab Dumplings they prepared, along with a drink made from Blue Pea Flowers, Elderflowers and Ice Mint harvested at the farm, a healthful and refreshing drink. This enriching experience, combining urban farming and professional kitchen skills, helped the students improve teamwork, communication, and learn how luxury hotels like Shangri-La incorporates local produce into their farm-to-table dishes.
