ABOUT

WHAT'S THE URBAN AG PROGRAM?

Join our Urban Agriculture Education Program (Urban Ag for short!) to dive into the world of sustainable gardening and healthy living.


Through our interactive workshops, learn how to cultivate nutrient-rich organic vegetables and fruits right in your own backyard or local community garden, using regenerative and waterwise techniques.


Enhance your green thumb by creating healthy soil and compost, and broaden your culinary horizons with guest speakers who'll teach you how to cook and preserve your fresh produce.


This program is more than just gardening; it's about building a community, embracing cultural diversity, and promoting food security and low food miles.


By participating, you'll contribute to a healthier, more connected community, sharing your harvest at our free food market and supporting local initiatives like the Mudijong CRC's bi-monthly meals and efforts to feed the homeless. Embrace an active lifestyle and make a difference with us.

Acquire skills in creating healthy soil and adopting water-saving gardening methods while understanding the importance of food security and low food miles.
