The Goldhill Gardening Club and its Community Garden project received prominent coverage in the Straits Times 'life' home & garden section on February 14th.
A lot of hard work had gone into the Goldhill NC's Community in Bloom project - turning a plot of unused state land into a Community Garden. It took a lot of lobbying through Moulmein CCC to get the Singapore Land Authority to grant us the approval to use state land for such a project - we are the first ever such community garden on state land in a private housing estate.
The Gardening Club was set up in June 2008 by 50 members in Goldhill Gardens and neighbouring estates. We got the TOL in November and the Garden was officially launched by our Member of Parliament RADM (NS) Lui Tuck Yew on 9th November.
In the 3 months since the club got going the empty plot of land had been transformed into a nice community garden featuring rows of vegetables, herb and spice plants, fruit trees and ornamental flowering plants.
The Community Garden is now a focal point for residents to get together in the mornings and evenings to enjoy gardening activities and to socialise with neighbours.
