Kitchen Garden by a Retired Navy Veteran at His Home in Lekir, Perak
If there is a will, there is a way. But if there is a lack of desire, even one excuse is enough to reject an effort to achieve something. The concept of gardening in the home yard is not new, yet not many are able to do it.
For our loyal readers of orangperak.com, this time we will share the story of Hamdan Ahmad Sapli, the owner of the Kitchen Garden in Lekir. He is a vegetable farm operator who allows customers to come and pick fresh vegetables at his Kitchen Garden. Hamdan Ahmad Sapli, who now resides in Lekir, Sitiawan, was born on September 6, 1968. He is originally from Kampung Lengkuas, Parit, and received his education at Sekolah Menengah Iskandar Shah, Parit, from 1983 to 1988. The hobby of gardening does not necessarily require a large space. You can use the urban farming concept, which emphasizes gardening activities in limited spaces, especially in your home yard.
He has been retired from the navy since August 2011. Since then, Hamdan Ahmad Sapli started gardening around his home to fill his spare time. The Kitchen Garden developed by Hamdan Ahmad Sapli aims to encourage the local community to garden around their homes.
The owner of this Kitchen Garden is said to be very friendly and welcoming to the constant stream of visitors who come to see his garden, with some even asking Hamdan Ahmad Sapli to share his gardening knowledge. If you are interested, you can visit Kampung Tersusun Lorong Haji Hamzah, Batu 10, Lekir.
The Kitchen Garden deserves to be highlighted as an example to the community regarding the benefits gained from simple agricultural activities in the home yard. Not only can it save on daily expenses, but it can also provide additional income.
Even if you do not have a large space, you can use various alternatives, including planting in specific containers. It is quite disappointing when those living in village areas, who could grow their own fresh produce, still ignore it and continue to buy from outside. Facebook Hamdan Ahmad Sapli,
