edible ginger flowers
PhotoHunt theme : Jiffy/ Flowers
A group of us dropped by Bollywood Veggies farm for lunch after a morning tour of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Located at the tranquil Kranji Countryside, Bollywood Veggies is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
couldn't help laughing at the sometimes zany notices!
After lunch, we did a quick tour of the ten acre farm. The wide range of fruits, trees and vegetables is well labelled. The young people in our group not only learnt to identify the various fruits and plants, they had fun posing besides unusual or weird plants. It was a very hot day so we did not stay long.
Saw these Jiffy peat pellets in a gardening shed. Easy and convenient for people who do not have "green fingers". Just add water to the seeds and watch them grow. :)
Enrich your knowledge of what an Asian garden entails. :)
On our way out, we saw a small stand where visitors could buy banana bread, dehydrated fruit, organic vegetables and pots of herbs.
There is an admission fee of $2 per head to the farm, but we need not pay because we dined at the bistro.
You should consider driving here or taking the Kranji Countryside shuttle bus which goes to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve too.

ReplyDeleteWent with my extended family. You live nearer to this place, there is a shuttle bus that goes there.
DeleteOh, there's an admission fee, thought no admission fee...
ReplyDeleteAdmission fee is $2 per person if you just want to tour the farm.
DeleteSeems like a nice place, I don't think I know any plant/vege there, hehe!
ReplyDeleteA quiet and relaxing place. The plants and vege not so difficult to identify :)
DeleteSounds like a lovely place to visit. I strongly believe in supporting our local, and organic farms too :)
ReplyDeleteMy photo hunt entry for this week
Happy weekend my friend!
I am an ardent supporter of our local enterprises, especially the mum and pop shops. :)
DeleteI like plants but I don't like to plant them haha!
ReplyDeleteSame here too. Actually I don't have "green finger", all the plants I grow.... die. :D
DeleteWas there piped Bollywood movie music in the grounds? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo piped Bollywood movie music. Nobody could hear it because it would be drown by the children's laughter. Yes, the young children love this place and there is a children's activity corner too.
DeleteHow interesting!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever go to Singapore for a race, I want to visit this! :)
When!? We have almost one race per month. :)
Delete*waits for Lina*

The pots are convenient and there is a higher success rate. :)

Hi ECL, very cool place. I enjoy visiting our local farmers market. Wonderful photo collection. I have no green thumb so I really like those jiffy peat pellets.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
I have been to a few local farmers' markets in Australia and China, and I saw many produce which are unique to what we have in Singapore. I enjoy visiting those markets. The peat pellets are easy to use.
ReplyDeleteCool post !
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to wander around. I liked your shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place! I'd love to visit that. Edible ginger flowers - beautiful (I'd love to try them).
