HKU Herb Garden / Monthly
Meet-up
The Herb Garden, nestled outside the 2/f
entrance of the Main Library, one of the HKU Holistic Urban Farming Spaces 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 Tea Meet-up is the 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.

Holistic Urban Farming Workshop
During this workshop series, you will learn how to grow organic vegetables and herbs at the rooftop farm or herb garden on campus. By becoming more in tune with our natural surroundings and recycling food waste, you can reduce your impact on the environment. Moreover, we will learn to awaken our senses through understanding the soil, vegetables and herbs, as well as practising ‘mindfulness’ in the farm and garden. At the last session of workshop, you will make a delicious farm-to-table meal using the fresh produce you have grown!
Workshop participants can also join the farming team to help out with daily tasks in the farm’s communal area.
