Herb & Spice Garden
Green Club members manages and maintains the Herb & Spice Garden in school. They are responsible in watering the plants, weeding, and planting new seeds. In 2018, the Herb & Spice Garden attained Gold in the Community in Bloom (CIB) competition. As part of the CIB programme, our school set up a booth at Gardens by the Bay during Singapore Garden Festival to share about our gardening journey to the members of the public. Green Club members also share their knowledge with other CCA members by giving them a garden tour and teaching them the basic steps in planting seeds. In 2019, they collaborated with the canteen vendors to create a compost bed from vegetable stalks.
Learning Journey
As part of the development plan, Green Club members go to Marina Barrage, Sungei Buloh, Hort Park and Chua Chu Kang Park for learning journeys. Through this experience, the Green Club members learn about new plants such as their characteristics and benefits. They also adopt new gardening skills and techniques such as creating a compost bed and growing new plants by stem cutting.
