Through this three-month seasonal programme that runs from August to October, Garage Greens members will be able to grow their own herbs and vegetables on Garage Academy Campus in Wan Chai, get guidance from organic farmers and even participate in cooking workshops.

To kick-off the programme, Rooftop Republic and Garage Academy organised a cocktail soiree called Rooftop Farm to Table, featuring signature cocktails by mixologist Jay Khan from COA, a trendy new bar in Central. Jay prepared three different kinds of tipples for the evening, using drinks, using the very versatile thyme, mint and basil freshly reaped on the Garage Academy Campus rooftop. Guests were also treated to a live demo in which they were taught how to make the best use of the herbs to create the most delectable of drinks. One tip? Hand-press the leaves lightly to bring out the most flavours.
