It was a hot June morning as a group of more than 50 people enthusiastically dug holes and potted saplings along the North Eastern Riverine Loop. Fifty-one trees were planted that morning at Punggol Promenade, signifying the start of the public involvement in the planting of 1,963 trees to commemorate 50 years of greening Singapore. This special tree planting exercise is part of the Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree (PAT) programme.
