Insight Vacations grows its greens

Insight Vacations had a fruitful weekend at Edible Garden City with its ‘Grow Your Own Food’ movement last Saturday. With an increasing dependence on imported food in Singapore, Insight Vacations staff and its sister brand colleagues are championing this cause with sowing seeds for a baby salad project alongside making seed bombs.

“We have chosen Edible Garden City for this CSR project as it is in line with our global CSR movement where we support the Whitmuir Society in Scotland to develop 140 acres of organic farm as a living, learning space for the purpose of engaging visitors to learn about sustainable food and farming,” said Sheryl Lim, regional director for Insight Vacations (Asia).

“With our massive concrete jungle in Singapore, this is our opportunity to learn from urban farmers on how to grow food in a city environment and use that to our utmost benefit on a long term basis.”

Edible Garden City champions growing food at under used spaces such as rooftops and sidewalks, and have a belief to connecting city folks back to nature by encouraging food growing activities.

 

The team at Edible Garden City advocate sustainable natural growing methods, resource recycling and waste minimisation.
