Review Body: Wonderful introduction to hydroponic farming, growing your own greens, and the history of farming in Singapore. Most importantly, it has given us the excitement and confidence to begin our own journey with hydroponic farming at home such as growing our own leafy greens and herbs. Would highly recommend this experience to all!

Review Body: We really appreciated to see first hand about indoor vertical farming and learn about what Urban Green Dot is doing. Brandon took the time to share his story and answer all our questions. And it was a big bonus that we receive a kit and our own seeds to start our own indoor garden. We are excited to see how it grows.

Brandon Yeo and Ryota Wong started Urban Green Dot in 2019 with a simple goal—making urban farming accessible to Singaporeans. What began as a small indoor farming initiative during the COVID pandemic has now grown into a full-fledged farm, offering workshops across Singapore to teach people about sustainability and the future of urban agriculture. They don’t just talk about sustainability—they live it. From cutting down plastic waste to using eco-friendly materials in their farming, they constantly find ways to reduce their environmental impact. Beyond their business, they give back by donating fresh, pesticide-free vegetables to families in need. With their hands-on approach and commitment to the community, Brandon and Ryota are helping shape a greener, more self-sufficient Singapore.
