Trainers
Trainers
Bernard Low is a ACTA certified trainer. He is also a Project Director at RIFA Singapore.
Felicia Kang is a ACTA certified trainer. Felicia is a urban farmer maintaining a few EGC's edible gardens, namely Wheelock Place rooftop garden, Raffles City rooftop garden, garden at Open Farm Community and EGC retail outlet at HortPark. Her daily work involved watering, pruning and checking on plants. She had to tend to the nursery from saving and growing seeds, to propagating stems and transplanting plants. She also needs to take regular measures such as pest control, application of fertilizers and soil amendments to ensure those edible plants were sustainable for weekly harvesting. All these might seem trivial but they were vital to ensure healthy soil and happy plants. On adhoc basis, she maintained clients' edible gardens and assisted in setting up foodscape projects. With her farming experience, she was tasked to support the education arm of EGC in planning and coordinating with schools and EGC trainers for schools' gardening workshops and projects.She said that "Farming or gardening is more than just growing plants, it hones our observation skill, trains our patience and resilience, and improves our physical and mental health. Last but not least, it lets us enjoy and share our labour of love."

Environment: by all means open the door for ventilation but control the people who talk loudly just outside so as not to fight with the talk.1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2. Do you find the trainer knowledgeable in this subject? 3. How do you find the training environment
Hardware: Pls test ppt before training to enlarge or focus projection better. Prepare before hand.
Trainer: can use Zoom to teach because the so call practical is again verbal, which trainer can video himself via Zoom or even pre recorded. There is no real need for us to go all the way there because the farm tour was disallowed anyway.
We just need to collect the kit or get it sent to us.
Trainer: he has this habit of saying "er, er" repeatedly that can be quite irritating. Not sure if its due to his preference to speak Mandarin more than English? He also has tendency to overrun on and on without giving breaks. Know that concentration span will decrease with just him talking non-stop.
