Trip to Hydroponic Farm

Went to Oh Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm with the students to take a look at how vegetables are grown without soil. We viewed kang kong, spinach, bean sprouts, lavender ("Not for sale," warned the strict guide, much to the disappointment of those kids), long beans and basil leaves (Eeee, they stink!).

At the end of the tour, we were given the opportunity to purchase some of their produce. I bought a potted plant (which will grow to be a sunflower) and a bottle of peppermint crystals. It is really refreshing to take a deep breath from the bottle, as the peppermint vapour invigorates your senses. Each of us was also given free packs of dou miao and kang kong. Our mums would be very happy.
