Working on the Community Garden

On a very hot Saturday afternoon, a group of keen Limau gardeners met and made their way to a nursery in Ang Mo Kio, well known for its wide selection of plants. Their mission; to buy one of every lime or limau plant species available and turn the Limau Manis Community Garden into a reference garden for lime plants.

As it turns out, they were only 5 types of lime plants at the nursery. Not discouraged, we bought the plants and headed back to the garden. Hard work awaits! Clearing the garden of weeds and preparing the ground took an hour and then we were ready for the next phase.

With tender loving care, we ensured the plants were transplanted properly. And sufficiently watered; not damaged, roots intact. The rest we leave it to mother nature.

We enjoyed the workout, friendship and neighbourliness. All present resolved to meet again at the garden next Sunday 5 September at 6 pm
