Muddy Toes: A Small Group Composting & Harvesting Experience
A small-group composting and harvesting experience in a private outdoor garden plot.
Set within a larger gardening space, this small outdoor plot offers a space to physically and mentally step away from the usual pace of life. With just 2-5 people, we can take the time to observe and care for the space together.
We'll tend to the compost heap, mulch the soil, harvest edible leaves, and looks for signs of life in the soil and garden.
Along the way, we’ll experience how simple gardening practices - such as mulching, diverse planting and composting - can support thriving ecosystems in everyday neighbourhood spaces.
There will also be some harvesting. Depending on what's available, you may be able to bring home laksa leaves, sand ginger leaves, turmeric leaves, mint leaves, pegaga leaves, and marsh pennywort leaves.
This experience is for you if…
You’d like to experience what it means to care for a soil ecosystem.
You don’t mind - and perhaps even enjoy - getting your toes or shoes a little muddy. Dive booties are perfect for this environment!
You love the idea of exploring a shady forest-understorey-like habitat in a highly urbanised Singapore neighbourhood.
You don’t mind getting a bit of rain — whether from rain or overhead automatic irrigation!
No gardening experience is needed. Gloves, handheld gardening tools, organic materials for composting, and small stools are provided.
