The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) launched the "Community Garden Programme" in February 2004 to set up planting plots at selected LCSD parks and venues across the territory. Under the guidance of qualified instructors, participants can learn how to grow ornamental plants, fruits and vegetables in parks or venues nearby and take home the harvest to share with others.

Objectives

The scheme is meant to encourage the public to participate in greening activities at community level and to adopt greening activities as part of daily life. It also aims at arousing public awareness in greening and environmental protection through participating in gardening activities.
