Gardening Talk @ Thomson Reuters

I was invited to Thomson Reuters’ Xtra Louge at Science Park Drive on Friday afternoon to give a gardening talk to its employees. June 5 happens to be World Environment Day and the company took the opportunity to launch their Singapore Green Team. The Green Team is an employee-organised team, which actively looks for new and different ways to help the environment and to inform fellow employees about environmental issues.

 In my talk, I shared with the employees from Thomson Reuters on how they can bring greenery into their indoor working space. I touched on three most important environmental factors that need to be taken note of to ensure success in gardening indoors. The information that was shared is also applicable to growing plants back at home. As there are requests for my slides, I intend to turn the information into a feature article that will be put up on the Green Culture Singapore and this gardening blog soon.

Before I left, I took the opportunity to have a photograph taken with Ms Gill Murdoch, a Thomson Reuters correspondent who extended the invitation to me. It was nice catching up again to find out how each of us is doing at present. I first met her in 2007 in an interview to write a story on high-rise gardeners for Reuters (then).
