Kampong Chai Chee Rainbow Ville RC's Garden featured in Contact South East Issue 109!

From the article :

GARDEN ANGELS

If you thought that crop cultivation in SIngapore was restricted to hydrophonic farms, think again. This thriving community garden at Bedok North Avenue 3 boasts an assortment of plants including spinach, peanuts, kang kong, chye sim, long beans and herbs. This verdant patch, which was allocated by the Kampong Chai Chee Rainbow Ville Residents' Committee (RC), has been lovingly tended to bt green-fingered residents for the better part of a decade.

Garderns such as this are part of the NParks 'Community in Bloom' (CIB) programme, which aims to develop a gardening culture among Singaporeans. Today, there are about 300 gardening groups which not only seek to introduce urban farming to their neighbourhoods, but also foster community spirit.
