Grandmother grows fruits and vegetables in Clementi HDB flat corridor

A granny from China has turned her HDB corridor into a fruit and vegetable garden, which has even seen a watermelon plant bear fruit! Grandmother Sun Chun Rong, a Liaoning native, is here in Singapore to visit her daughter and 13-year-old grandson for the second time. Her grandson showed a very strong interest in science and asked her many questions about plants. Rather than go to textbooks, she went one step further: she grew her own fruits and greens right at the doorstep! Now she has even got a watermelon to show for it, quite possibly the first to be grown right in Singapore's heartland.

The 65-year-old, who works in a university, feels like this is bringing a piece of life from China, to her grandson all the way in Singapore. Among her other harvests are soya beans, chilli, green onions and chinese medicinal herbs.
