When 80-year-old Ch’ng Ah Bee first heard that the Senior Citizens Association at Scotland Road in Penang was going to start an eco-farm, she was more than excited as she could now put her gardening skills to good use.

“I used to live in a landed property with space for my own little garden where I planted a lot of vegetation,” Ch’ng said.
