In addition, you can also adopt more than 100 plants for free as well as stand a chance to bring home rare plant species by taking pictures and tagging Rimba Market.
Caring for plants is not as easy as it seems and it also requires specific techniques for them to grow healthily, so if you're an amateur in planting, you are invited to enrol in the workshops that share insightful talks and knowledge of plants and sustainable living. Plus, you can also recycle your old pots with them instead of throwing them away as it can contribute to environmental damage as plastics take forever to be disposed.
