Avid gardeners hoping to grow vegetables and edible plants will be able to do so at 187 new allotment gardening plots across Singapore.

The National Parks Board (NParks) said in a statement on Feb 20 that applications for the plots will be open from 10am on Feb 21 till 11.59pm on March 5.

The bulk of these plots – 120 of them – will be located in Woodlands Waterfront Park, and Sun Plaza Park in Tampines. The remaining plots are in existing allotment gardens in East Coast Park’s Area A, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park, Punggol Waterway Park and West Coast Park.

Applicants will go through a new and more convenient application and balloting process for the plots, said NParks.

Instead of filling in and submitting an online form, those interested can apply and ballot for the plots via AXS’ e-Station website, the AXS m-Station app for mobile phones or physical AXS Station kiosks.

This will allow successful applicants to make payments through AXS payment channels instead of manual bank transfers, said NParks.
