100% Organic

What started off as a single citrus tree planted on the building’s most visible corner from our pool terrace grew to what is now 20m2 (215 sq. feet) of organic growing space. We welcome you to explore Ellie’s Garden.

The concept of ‘going green’ is in vogue. Yet, we believe that for it to have true purpose, it must come from the heart. The garden is one of our most cherished and loved spaces in the building and it was named after the youngest member of our team:  Ellie of 2 1/2 years.

We feel that the contrast of greenery against the backdrop of concrete is a blessing to the eye as well as the soul. While we use and nurture this space for our own consumption, we wholeheartedly invite all of our guests to take advantage of our seasonal vegetables to prepare in their own private kitchens.

When urban living space progressively consumes open plots of land, the amount of parks and natural space become more and more scarce. Rooftop gardens, then, become the natural alternative. The contribution of rooftop gardening to sustainability is not minor. The many benefits it provides extend not only to its owner but also to the environment and the community.

How your food is grown and raised not only has a major impact on your mental and emotional health but on our environment as well. We strongly believe in the benefits of organic eating which is why we encourage our guests to not only to visit, but also to harvest vegetables from Ellie’s Garden. Take the stairs and choose what you wish.

While our contribution to the environment and the community by organic rooftop gardening is a tiny effort, we are nonetheless proud of our work. Providing our customers the chance to share their own experiences, possibly learn from each other, and eat organically is Poetry’s primary focus of corporate social responsibility.
