HKU Herb Garden / Monthly Meet-up

With Herb Garden, nestled outside the 2/F entrance of the Main Library, GE Team aims to promote sustainable living and human-nature connection. The Garden was set up by students under the guidance of permaculture practitioners as part of a GE course, using up-cycled materials such as old bamboo from the New Year Flower Market. This project hopes to nurture a community that shares similar concerns about health, the environment, and our future, as well as to spark off more creative and sustainable use of campus space and resources. 

Herb Garden Monthly Meet-up is a monthly event to unwind in this enchanting, aromatic atmosphere!  This series hopes to nurture a community that shares similar concerns about health, wellbeing, the environment, and our future, as well as to spark more creative and sustainable uses of campus space and resources. Our Herb Garden Team, a group of students and staff volunteers, are growing a variety of organic herbs in the garden.  In this event, we will share gardening and organic farming tips, as well as dried herbs, herb cuttings and seeds.
