I have slowly learnt how to transform my kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost, thereby reducing food waste” 2 4 “Instead of promoting social interaction, it sometimes causes friction. A small group of residents often gatekeeps the garden, locking others out and treating it like their private property." 3 2 “It serves as a community hub for sharing eco -friendly tips. I've learned how to properly compost household waste and save seeds collected from my neighbours, which has helped our entire block reduce what we throw away." 4 3 “It transforms dull concrete areas or empty grass patches into productive green spaces.” 5 1 “When I get to plant my own food, I learn firsthand about composting, reducing waste. It makes me and the community much more conscious of our environmental footprint." 6 5 "Honestly, I don't think they contribute much. The scale is far too small to make a real dent in Singapore's food sustainability, and it functions more like a hobby club for a select few.” 7 1 “Seeing the garden thrive every day reminds me to make more eco-conscious choices in my daily life, like bringing reusable bags to the market.” 8 4 "It doesn’t. Sometimes I saw the gardens poorly maintained. They attract pests like mosquitoes and rodents. These can become a public health hazard.”
