Do you want to learn how to grow your own vegetables and herbs, but have limited time and space? In this hands-on workshop series, we will grow lettuce and basil, create Micro Gardens, and enjoy a delightful farm-to-table experience.
You will learn the secrets of growing your own produce in small urban spaces, and have the opportunity to practise your newly acquired skills on the HKU Rooftop Farm. We will then build Micro Gardens from upcycled plastic bottles and waste wood. These innovative, time-saving Micro Gardens are perfect for growing your own herbs and leafy greens on a sunny windowsill. Finally, we will share a farm-to-table experience by preparing and enjoying the produce we have grown.
