“In Time Of” Programme, launched by Nan Fungoes Group, is a community initiative that engages society through sustainable development, social design, and culture and arts.
Community Plant Library is a native plant platform in Hong Kong, that displays, gathers and discovers plant information as well as the community network. Away from formal green space, the library is a new experimental space to discover the social and cultural value of a plant in urban context, seeking the opportunity of new interaction between green and residents. The Plant Library space will include a display of plants for locals to adopt, a collaborative and ongoing community plant map, a kaifongs’ corner as a meeting point for the kaifongs’ grocery shopping group and a series of public workshop activities. “In Time Of” Programme, launched by Nan Fungoes Group, is a community initiative that engages society through sustainable development, social design, and culture and arts.
