"From a single, humble experimental garden in Mayfair Park Estate, the Community in Bloom initiative has grown into an island-wide public imitative with more than 600 gardening groups spread across the country. Read about the fascinating stories behind each garden and the experiences of the gardeners whose devotion and commitment to each other and their gardens have brought Singapore closer to its vision of being a City in a Garden. Featuring the personal memories and experiences of residents, volunteers and NParks staff, interspersed with mouthwatering recipes using fresh produce harvested from the gardens and showcasing stunning photos of the country's suburban green spaces, this book bears testament to how community gardening has brought a nation together"-- Backcover.
