Theme: Organic Gardening Workshop

Foods we find in markets nowadays are often loaded with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Negative impacts include its damage on our health, as well as its disruption against our natural environment. As the pandemic stretches onwards, what better way to spend our time and ensure a healthy food source than organic gardening? Organic gardening is good for the environment as it requires no synthetic chemicals, and fully relies on the natural interactions between the plant and the natural environment. A greener and less waste alternative for gardening can put into action in this afternoon workshop!
