What time is it? Summer time! While we stay home (again) with Phase 2’s heightened measures, here’s a list of fun techtivities you can do with your family in the comfort of your own homes!
In the event of these heightened measures, we hope that you take the necessary precautions when going out and continue to stay safe and healthy! Keep holding on! 💪

Learn How To Grow Edible Plants with NParks
Since we are advised to stay home these days, why not bring the outdoors to you? Keep your house fresh and green by planting your own edible plants. Here’s a helpful playlist by NParks on how you can grow your own! They show how to grow herbs like lime and basil, as well as vegetables like eggplant and lady's fingers. Best of all, you can learn from the NParks experts from home, all thanks to technology.
All the best, we’re rooting for you!
