These new plots are located in Bedok Reservoir Park, East Coast Park, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park and one-north Park.

Application for the allotment gardening plots will be done online and plots will be allocated through computerised balloting. Each plot comprises a raised planter bed measuring 2.5 m by 1 m and will be leased for three years at $57 annually (excluding GST).

The Allotment Gardening Scheme is part of Singapore’s vision of growing our City in Nature by providing more spaces for gardening in the community. In our vision to transform Singapore into a City of Nature, the community plays a key role in the ownership and stewardship for nature. We want to encourage more to garden as a means for community participation and bonding and to bring people closer to nature for health and well-being.
