Urban Farming Fall 2024

Urban Farming Programme - Fall 2024 is open for registration now. In this programme, you can acquire knowledge on organic farming and hands-on experience working at your planter boxes through a series of workshops. It gives full experience of growing your own vegetables and connecting with nature on campus. 👩‍🌾 What's more, by joining the programme, you can earn up to 60 GreenCoins to use with the PolyU GreenCoin app!
