Sowing the Seeds of Community: Kebun Komuniti Hartamas

Tucked away in the serene neighbourhood of Sri Hartamas is a delightful garden of edible plants and flowers known as Kebun Komuniti Hartamas (KKH). Initiated by a group of like-minded neighbours in August 2020, this space has transformed into a hub of community activity. Designed by the community and for the community, the garden aims to support those in need while promoting gardening knowledge and awareness. Flourishing now, under the TNB high wires in the area, the garden features over 70 different plant species. We find out more about this community garden - a testament to the dedication and collaboration of local residents - from Phillipa Yoong, the head of Kebun Komuniti Hartamas.
