With the interest in growing edibles at an all-time high, NParks will be adding 1,000 new gardening plots for enthusiasts in parks across Singapore by 2021. As a start, 230 new allotment garden plots at four parks will be made available.

Gardeners who has been allocated a plot are free to grow vegetables, herbs or other plants in them.
