Urban Hijau
Short description of your place and practices
Urban Hijau is more than just a park or garden. We are a living and breathing example of organic sustainable farming, right in the middle of the city.
As a planned sustainable social enterprise, we use permaculture as a means to unite people, generate profit and preserve the planet simultaneously.
"Grow What Grows", "Start small get it right and scale up" and "Integrate rather than segregate" are some of the statements we are always seen to use and practice.
At Urban Hijau, Activating Sustainability by rebuilding wholesome food systems with local integration is critical to move forward and make a long standing impact.
Our Main Objectives Include:
Use the site as a venue for community and team building, and to engage with different sections of society interested in urban farming and sustainability
Act as a showcase for various permaculture practices and sustainable farming methods to the wider public.
Provide education on healthy organic growing/eating/living options and offer training in practices mentioned above
Provide fresh and health produce (vegetables, fruits, etc.) to either sell or give back to the larger community
Organize various events for people to come together to learn and share through workshops, talks, tours and other activities
Establish a seed bank and a nursery to spread the plants to others interested in starting their own journeys
