“This is really a big help for us. We were taught about new farming methods to increase our harvests much unlike before when we just cleared a portion of the area and plant,” said Severino T. Sablay, 72, leader of Team Talon.
Talon is one of five teams working on the New Greenland Farm in Bagong Silangan. Last Thursday, Feb. 18, the urban vegetable garden hosted its first ever harvesting activity.
“We were taught how to prepare garden beds, unlike before we totally ignored such practices,” Sablay noted.
Now, New Greenland Farm has 45 garden plots planted with various vegetable seedlings, such as spinach, pechay, upland kangkong, and mustasa.
