“Gardening enthusiasts in Singapore will soon have a new opportunity to cultivate their own edible plants, as the National Parks Board (NParks) prepares to release more than 350 allotment garden plots for public application.
These plots are distributed across 15 existing allotment gardens in popular locations such as Jurong Lake Gardens and Punggol Park, offering more residents a chance to engage in urban gardening.
Application Details
Interested individuals can submit their applications online from 19 March 2025 at 10:00 AM until 1 April 2025 at 11:59 PM. The application process and payment can be completed via AXS platforms, including e-Station, m-Station (mobile app), and AXS kiosks.
To ensure fairness, all applications will go through a computerised balloting system. Unsuccessful applicants will be informed via email approximately three months after the closing date. For those who miss out, another application and balloting round is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Expanding Urban Gardening
Currently, Singapore boasts more than 2,400 allotment garden plots spread across 28 parks and gardens, allowing individuals to rent spaces for growing edible plants. To meet the increasing demand, NParks is collaborating with various agencies, Town Councils, and Grassroots Organisations to introduce more gardening spaces in residential areas.
Additionally, nearly 900 allotment garden plots across 29 sites are managed by Resident Committees and Resident Networks, further promoting community gardening initiatives.”
