Weed Wise 一草一木皆有「你」

Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) is a sprawling 148-hectare oasis nestled on the picturesque northern slopes of Tai Mo Shan. With a core mission to foster a harmonious relationship with the environment, KFBG now offers a nature exploration service for our students. This service opportunity provides a chance to engage in environmental weeding activities and transform seemingly useless weeds into shimekazari. Let's 'WeedWise' and discover how we can embrace a more sustainable lifestyle!

嘉道理農場暨植物園坐落於大帽山北坡，佔地148 公頃，他們的使命是促進大眾與環境和諧並存。嘉道理農場現提供一個親近大自然的義工機會, 同學可以在活動中學習如何在野外環境除草, 並同時嘗試化廢為寶, 用除掉的廢草設計一個日式新年裝飾。一同來參加這個活動, 學習更多大自然的知識並為我們的環境出一分力!
