Garage Greens Urban Farming Program: A Successful Harvest for Credit Suisse

We recently hosted our last Farm Club Session of this season with Credit Suisse, who learnt the ins and outs of urban farming through hands-on activities with partners Rooftop Republic at our Garage Wan Chai Lockhart Road farm.

Through our Garage Greens Urban Farming program, we've worked with Rooftop Republic to transform unused spaces at Garage Society into sustainable spaces to reconnect with nature, providing our co-work community with fresh, locally-grown produce along the way.

 

After over 4 months of hands on activity by the Credit Suisse team a successful harvest was held (despite attempts by the rain gods to hamper things) and the team took stock of the effort they had put in to cultivate green fingertips

 

 A special shoutout to our partners at Rooftop Republic for their unwavering support in making this initiative a reality! Together, we've sowed the seeds for a greener, more sustainable future. 

 

Thank you to everyone at Credit Suisse who participated and supported this program. Cultivate your green fingertips further with us by joining one of the sessions taught by experienced urban farmers at Garage Greens.
