For students to pursue their own interests and learn outside of the curriculum:

• Gardening with edibles 

Website: https://www.nparks.gov.sg/gardening/gardening-with-edibles 

Students can participate in NParks’ ‘gardening with edibles’ initiative to grow their own edibles at home. This Gardening with Edibles initiative is aligned with Singapore’s national strategy to strengthen our food resilience. Students will pick up care tips or planting techniques through attending or watching past online masterclasses conducted by NParks horticulturists. Students can then share stories of their fruits of labour on social media using #NParksBuzz and #GardeningwithEdiblesSG!
