Plants that are illegal are not allowed to be planted.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Gardeners are to be mindful of the neighbouring plots when planting up their plots and ensure that their plants do not encroach into the neighbouring plots’ space and walking paths within the parks. Gardeners should keep their space clean and tidy for the safety of all allotment gardeners.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Can I use pesticides at the allotment garden plot?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are not allowed to be used at the allotment garden plots as they may kill insects, such as bees and wasps, which play an important role in the pollination process of flowering plants. Such chemicals may also spread to other plots and may cause adverse reactions to gardeners tending to other plots or public who visit the plots. </p> </details> <details> <summary>Where can I store my tools and gardening related materials?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">There is a storage area in each allotment garden planter where tools and other gardening-related materials (e.g. soil, compost) must be kept when not in use. All items stored within the storage area must be kept neatly at all times and not in common spaces or along pathways.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">For Sengkang Riverside Park, there is a separate storage area due to site layout.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Will NParks provide fencing, security or surveillance at allotment gardens?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Our allotment gardens are located in publicly accessible areas to allow park visitors to appreciate our green spaces and amenities holistically. We also inform gardeners upfront that no CCTVs or fencing are to be installed and that a storage box is provided for their tools and gardening materials.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">NParks would like to remind all park visitors to be considerate and keep our parks a place for everyone to enjoy, by not picking or damaging the plants in the parks including those belonging to the allotment gardeners.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">However, if there are recurrent reports on incidents of theft or vandalism at particular locations, NParks will consider additional measures to deter such occurrences. These may include putting up more signages at prominent areas of the allotment garden premises to remind public, and/or installation of CCTVs for general park surveillance.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Will water and electricity be provided?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Shared water points are available for use at the allotment garden. No electricity will be provided.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Will NParks or their contractors help me to maintain the allotment garden plot if I am unable to do so? Who is responsible/will pay for any mosquito breeding summons?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Allotment gardeners are required, at all times and at your own expense, to maintain the allotment garden plot and its immediate surroundings in a good and presentable condition, including trimming overgrown shrubs, removing weeds, pest-infested plants, dead and damaged plants/products.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">NParks will also not be responsible for any instances of mosquito breeding detected by the National Environment Agency (NEA) at the allotment garden plots. Allotment gardeners are responsible for taking all precautions and measures to prevent breeding of mosquitoes at their respective allotment garden plots.</p> </details> <details> <summary>What if I am unable to maintain my plot for a period of time?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Should an allotment gardener fail to maintain his/her allotment garden plot, and within the time stipulated by NParks, then NParks reserves the right to rescind the licence granted to the allotment gardener. NParks may choose, at its discretion, to allocate the allotment garden plot to another gardener. The registered licensee is solely responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the allocated allotment garden plot. Assigning the maintenance and/or upkeep of the plot to another person is strictly not allowed.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Who can I approach when there is a beehive, rodents or other wildlife present in my plot?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Please contact NParks via this <a href="http://www.nparks.gov.sg/feedback">Feedback Form</a> to seek assistance.</p> </details> </div> </li> <li><input type="checkbox" id="accordion3" /> <label for="accordion3">Allotment Garden Plot Application Related</label> <div> <details> <summary>Other than AXS application, are there other methods to apply?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">All applications will now have to be made through AXS. Interested members of the public may apply through AXS channels – e-Station (Website at https://e-station2.axs.com.sg/), m-Station (Mobile application) and AXS stations (Kiosk) found island-wide.</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Applicants can contact AXS hotline at 6560 2727 (8.30am – 6pm daily) for assistance.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Why did applications change to the AXS system?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">This system was introduced to streamline and digitalise the application process through the incorporation of Singpass for authentication. Successful applicants will have to make payment via AXS when they are notified of their successful application, instead of manually initiated bank transfers. Unsuccessful applicants will also be notified at the end of the allocation process (about 3 months from the closing date of the application).</p> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Interested applicants who do not have access to Singpass can apply via the AXS kiosks located island-wide.</p> </details> <details> <summary>How many plots can I apply for and how many plots can I lease?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">Applications are based on a per household basis. Each applicant is allowed to apply for only one (1) allotment garden plot at any one time. If the application is successful, only one (1) license will be issued to the applicant, regardless of the number of persons in the household.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Will submitting multiple applications per household increase my chances of getting a plot?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">No. Only one application per household will be accepted by the system, regardless of the number of persons in the household.</p> </details> <details> <summary>Can I choose the plot to lease?</summary> <p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px">All plots (waist- or knee-height) are assigned strictly through a balloting system.</p> </details> <details> <summary>How would applicants know if they are successful?
