Blangah Rise Primary School’s rooftop garden is located along a thoroughfare that students use to get to their classes, greatly increasing the students’ touch points with nature.
Blangah Rise Primary School has transformed their unutilised rooftop space into a beautiful and educational garden, known as the 'Garden of Hope'. The garden serves as an extension of the school's nature-related programming, providing students with a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn about sustainable practices.
One of the most notable features of the garden is its location along a thoroughfare that students use to get to their classes. This has increased their touchpoints with nature, as they are able to observe the flowering and fruiting plants that have been carefully selected for the garden.
The garden is designed to be self-sustaining, with the use of solar panels for its auto-irrigation system and the harvesting of rainwater for irrigation. These sustainable practices not only reduce the garden's environmental impact but also serve as a valuable teaching tool for students.
As the 'Garden of Hope' materialised, Blangah Rise Primary School took the opportunity to launch their newly published book, 'The Green Dragonflies and Their Swampy Friends'. This book serves as a valuable resource for students, providing them with information about the local flora and fauna.

The garden’s plant palette was specially curated to include flowering and biodiversity-attracting plants to enrich the students’ learning
The school has also continued their efforts to train student docents to bring the public on a guided nature tour around Telok Blangah and Berlayer Creek, further promoting the importance of nature conservation and sustainable practices.
Besides being a beautiful and sustainable addition to the school, the 'Garden of Hope' provides students with a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn about sustainable practices.
