Grow Subang: Where Community Takes Root

In the heart of Subang Jaya, a patch of land is quietly transforming lives. Grow Subang is more than a community garden—it’s a space where people come to heal, learn, and reconnect with the earth and each other. From composting café scraps to teaching condo dwellers how to grow herbs in tight spaces, this grassroots initiative is proving that cultivating food can also cultivate belonging. We speak to the people behind it—and those who’ve found meaning in the soil.
