About
SAF Urban Garden is a community outreach initiative that invites audiences to use the garden for social and educational events, planting and sharing produce.
Nestled between the SAF Art Spaces, the garden is tucked away and blended into the architecture. Upon entering you encounter different edibles, herbs and trees, products of the children’s gardening workshops and niches to sit in.
Currently, SAF offers workshops for garden enthusiasts to expand their knowledge and creative workshops such as botanical illustration and painting. Discussions around urbanism and sustainability also take place. As this is an open space, audiences are invited to participate by visiting the garden and proposing ideas for workshops and discussions.
