private garden in the open @ blk 544 jelapang road

at our block, next to the dustbin chute area, somebody has taken the liberty and initiative to carve out his own open private garden. he, or rather his family, has planted a variety of flowering and non-flowering plants in this small patch. they have also taken the trouble to label the names of most of the plants.

it is quite apparent that a number of people living in this estate are going back to their roots. these are former residents of this area when the predominant occupation was farming - tilling the land, growing crops and harvesting them. how much they must have missed gardening and farming! this is evident by their involvement in the activities at the fenced up areas set aside for growing vegetables and other plants in bukit panjang.
