Urban Gardening 3rd Reflection

Learning outcome 6: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance

Our service has recently started a project before the April Break to introduce plants such as pothos into classrooms as means to expand the influence of urban gardening. We have harvested many produces such as mint, ginger, turmeric and rosettes from our rooftop garden, and it has led to the realization that the effective application of urban gardening techniques can lead to a great amount of reduction in carbon footprint. Urban gardening alone can not supply food for the entirety of Singapore, but can certainly reduce our reliance on imports for certain  vegetables. Decorative or office plants can also be germinated and taken care of on rooftop gardens. This plant to introduce plants into classrooms is to further advertise the service, and bring awareness to an often overlooked solution that we can all use in our journey to reduce carbon footprints.
