Excerpt:
SINGAPORE – Gardening and nature lovers in the west have a new attraction to visit to hone their green fingers – a 5,000 sq m urban farm lined with greenhouses at West Coast Park.
City Sprouts @ West Coast, a venture between the National Parks Board (NParks) and social enterprise City Sprouts, features 33 greenhouse lots for horticulture and nature-related activities and 41 gardening plots for the community to rent. It also has play areas for children and a cafe that highlights produce grown in the gardens.
The community urban farm at Area 2 of West Coast Park, near Carpark 2, is the first of its kind in a park formed in collaboration with a social enterprise, said NParks at the attraction’s opening on June 1.
About two-thirds the size of a football field, the farm came about after City Sprouts was awarded a grant under NParks’ Social Enterprise Community Urban Farm (Secuf) scheme introduced in 2021.
NParks has just released a Secuf tender for a second community urban farm to be built at Pasir Ris Park.
City Sprouts’ social mission has been to turn underutilised spaces in Singapore into community farms, while reaching out to seniors, at-risk youth and people with special needs through sustainability projects. This will also be a priority at the new West Coast farm, with the help of community partners, said the social enterprise’s founder Zac Toh.
