CETDEM's Organik Day

Did anyone go to CETDEM's Organik Day in SS19 PJ last Sunday?

I was there about 9.30am with two friends. Fortunately we went there early. By 11.30am, the sky has turned dark and we rushed to our car before it started to drizzle.

Let's walk through the Organik Day event with these photos that I had taken.

CETDEM's stall.

My favourite stall was the one where seeds were sold. There were vof seeds, ranging from flowers to vegetables. This time around, I bought 2 packets of seeds, i.e. coriander and kangkung (water convolvulus).

A stall selling vermicompost brought some earthworms to share with the public on how vermicompost is being produced.

Stalls selling seedlings of various herbs.






Organic tea & teabags and preserves for sales.




Seaweed is also available for sale.


Waiting for our turn to go for the guided tour of CETDEM's organic garden.

These are some of the plants from CETDEM's garden.

A Tour of CETDEM's Organic Garden

During last Sunday's Organic Day event that CETDEM organized, we had the opportunity to visit its organic garden. The garden is located in a corner unit house at No.29, Jalan SS19/22, where CETDEM operates from.

CETDEM's centre

Here's the garden. Inter-cropping, where various plants are planted together in the same vegetable bed, is practised here due to limitation of space. Organic farming method is used here. Produces from this farm is sold to generate fund for the centre.
