Trainers
Bernard Low: Bernard Low is a ACTA certified trainer. He is also a Project Director at RIFA Singapore.
Felicia Kang: Felicia Kang is a ACTA certified trainer. Felicia is a urban farmer maintaining a few EGC's edible gardens, namely Wheelock Place rooftop garden, Raffles City rooftop garden, garden at Open Farm Community and EGC retail outlet at HortPark. Her daily work involved watering, pruning and checking on plants. She had to tend to the nursery from saving and growing seeds, to propagating stems and transplanting plants. She also needs to take regular measures such as pest control, application of fertilizers and soil amendments to ensure those edible plants were sustainable for weekly harvesting. All these might seem trivial but they were vital to ensure healthy soil and happy plants. On adhoc basis, she maintained clients' edible gardens and assisted in setting up foodscape projects. With her farming experience, she was tasked to support the education arm of EGC in planning and coordinating with schools and EGC trainers for schools' gardening workshops and projects.
She said that "Farming or gardening is more than just growing plants, it hones our observation skill, trains our patience and resilience, and improves our physical and mental health. Last but not least, it lets us enjoy and share our labour of love."

The notes should be printed on white background. Can't write on a dark background. You're wasting ink as well. Writing materials, pens and writing pads, should be provided. Some hands-on practical would the course more interactive and interesting. (Posted on 7/4/2016)1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.

Dear Alfred,1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2. Do you find the trainer knowledgeable in this subject? 3. How do you find the training environment
Thank you for organising the workshop.
I indeed learned a lot from it.
Although I have started a little bit of setting up my hydroponics, I had more failures than successes.
Upon attending the workshop, I now understand why I failed.
I sure hope to be doing it the right way as what Dr Mallick has presented and ending up with successes this time.
Thank you once again for all your hard work and the food was good as well (Posted on 5/14/2016) - Thank you for organizing the course Review by Course Participant/Trainee

With limited space for gardening and farming, anyone who is thinking of home farming should consider this course. It is pretty enriching and eye-opening especially in the areas of nutrients and lighting though in brief.1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.

Despite the location, however, the organiser does provide transport to those who need it. Thumb up! (Posted on 3/8/2014) - interesting class and good knowledge! Review by Course Participant/Trainee
