Waste not, want not: Learn how to grow your own edible garden using food waste at Lendlease malls

Good idea! I'm guilty of forgetting to utilize my leftover food scraps for composting. It's great that Lendlease malls are leading this initiative to educate folks on urban farming with our own food waste. Does anyone know if there are any step-by-step guides or resources available? It would be useful to have some tips on getting started!
There should be some resources online, including on the Lendlease website itself. You might want to check it out after the exhibition, in case they upload something later!
 
Ever wondered what you can do with morsels of leftover food, or kitchen scraps such as fruit peels and eggshells? What if - instead of chucking them into the bin - you could turn that food waste into nutrient-rich soil, and use it to grow a lush garden of edible plants?

That is exactly what Lendlease malls are encouraging with their third instalment of You Won't Believe It's Trash (Y.W.B.I.T), which involves a roving exhibition. This year's theme, Trash to Eden, shines a spotlight on urban farming.

Interesting! I've always wanted to grow a little garden of my own, but it seems that I lack the space for gardening and end up not attempting it. But with this, maybe I could finally make use of my kitchen scraps instead of letting them go to waste! I'm curious about how long it will take to see some progress though, because as an adulting millennial who juggles multiple roles, I don't exactly have the luxury of time!

Growing your own edible garden is a fun and sustainable way to utilize scraps. Most people wouldn't know that eggshells and fruit peels can be turned into soil for growing new plants. It's a great initiative to help improve the environment, save costs, and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.

I like how they're making an effort to educate people through workshops too. It's a hands-on approach which makes it more engaging and memorable for participants. seems like a good way to spend the weekend - learning about sustainable living and also pick up some fresh produce!

That's an interesting read, especially how they turn food waste into soil and grow edible plants! I'm curious to learn more about this Trash to Eden exhibit. It's heartening to see mall spaces being utilized for urban farming initiatives like these.

I've heard of using eggshells and coffee grounds as soil additive but never really thought much about the other food scraps we can repurpose into something useful. Might give this a shot at home - got quite a bit of waste in my kitchen too. Wonder if there are any tips on which food waste is best suited for newbie gardeners like myself?

Sounds like an interesting campaign! Most people don't know what to do with their food scraps and end up wasting them. It's encouraging to see malls taking the initiative to educate people on sustainable practices, helping us reduce our carbon footprint!

Do you think this movement will catch on? After all, there are many benefits to urban farming!

I'd be keen to hear more about the exhibition's take on turning food waste into compost too! seems like a great initiative by Lendlease to make composting and urban farming more accessible. Might have to make a trip down with the family!
 
There will be plenty of step-by-step workshops conducted throughout the exhibition period. You'll pick up skills like making your own compost and constructing your very own miniature garden terrariums using recycled materials! Lendlease malls really go the extra mile in detail-oriented workshops that benefit the community.
That sounds right up my alley! I'm particularly interested in the workshop on making our own compost. I've read that composting at home helps reduce waste significantly, but I've never attempted it because it seems complicated. This is exciting!

Oh yes, I can imagine lots of valuable resources will be made available after the exhibition. That'd be wonderful as it allows others who may miss the event physical event to learn about urban farming too. Thanks for the reminder - I'll be sure to check their website and social media afterwards!

You're welcome! Have fun at the exhibition and do share some before-and-after pics so we know what to expect ;P
 
That sounds like a great plan! The exhibition looks like an exciting and insightful event for all of us who are interested in making something productive from our kitchen scraps. I'm curious about the techniques they will showcase, especially the ones that could apply to small spaces since I live in an apartment with limited space. Do share your experience if you visit the exhibit!
I'll be sure to find out more about the techniques they recommend for compact living. Sounds like many of us are keen on giving our food waste a second life!
