Bishan East Zone 1 Green Hub

Incepted during the pandemic in January 2021, Bishan East Zone 1 Resident Committee (RC) created Green Hub, the first urban void deck garden in Singapore.

 On 1 April 2022, the Green Hub was officially opened with 30 stations. It has since been evolved into a 40-station integrated Green Hub with 10 Green Zones (Urban Garden, Community Planters, Eco Habitat, Harvest in Harmony, Recycling Stations, Nostalgia Corner, Eco Art Library, Pets Kampong, Zen Out Sanctuary, Z1 Green Hub Station).  

 The Green Hub has resolved the following issues:

•           Corridor obstruction caused by excessive plants  

Instead of discarding them, many donated these plants to the Green Hub. The donated plants are systematically categorised under Green Shelter (Ornamental), Green Shelter (Edible Gardens) and Green Shelter (Herbs & Spices).

•           Food wastage

By sharing rescued food in its community fridges that are accessible 24/7, food wastage can be prevented. Residents also plant and harvest their own vegetables in Green Hub.

•           Littering, drinking, and smoking at the void decks

Green Hub advocates a clean and green environment and zero waste community. Setting a culture of civic mindedness and inculcating a sense of ownership in residents encourages them to take better care of the void deck
