About

The Ngee Ann Kongsi Library @SIT welcomes a new green initiative as part of our nation's drive towards the Singapore Green Plan 2030. In collaboration with Food, Chemical and Biotechnology (FCB), we would like to cultivate urban farming interests in the community by providing a space for farming activities. Through various programmes and activities, we aim to encourage food resilience by contributing back to the community. The Library provides opportunities for the community to experience growing hydroponic edible plants right in the heart of campus.

Hydroponics Rack

Two 4 tier hydroponics racks are situated near the Staff Lounge area

at Level 2 of the University Resource Centre.

Each tier can hold up to 32 plants.

Each vegetation cycle takes between 4-6 weeks before you can harvest.

Each participant will be allocated 1 tier of the rack ( 32 slots) to grow vegetables.
Briefing and training will be provided before the planting

Registration Closed

Types of Vegetables

The Library will provide seeds for the following types of vegetables. The list is not just limited to these. Users can suggest and bring their own seeds for planting.
