Allotment gardening plots at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and Jurong Lake Gardens West to open for registration

23 Oct 2018

The National Parks Board (NParks) today announced that registration for allotment gardening plots at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and Jurong Lake Gardens West will commence on 9 November 2018. Members of the public interested to grow edible and ornamental plants within the two parks will be able to apply for one of the 50 plots at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West or 300 plots at Jurong Lake Gardens West – the largest number of allotment gardening plots available.

For the first time, applications for the allotment gardening plots will now be done via an online system to ensure ease and convenience. Applications will be accepted between 9 November 2018, 9am, and 12 November 2018, 6pm. Applications will be shortlisted via a computerised balloting exercise instead of a first-come, first-served basis.

Members who need assistance with the online application can do so at the booths set up at a pavilion within Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and the Stone Boat in Chinese Garden. The booths will set up on Saturday, 10 November 2018, from 10am to 2pm. More details on the booth locations can be found in the Annex.

Each plot comprises a planter bed measuring 2.5 m by 1 m and can be leased for three years at $57 annually. The 50 gardening plots at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West have two heights, waist- and knee-height, to expand the demographics participating in such gardening activities.

Successful applicants can start planting at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West from 1 March 2019. The allotment gardening plots at the upcoming Jurong Lake Gardens West, which is still being developed, will open on 27 April 2019 when the garden is ready.

To date, the existing 620 plots at nine parks[1] have been fully subscribed by gardening enthusiasts. NParks will continue to assess allotment gardens and its role in future initiatives.
