Play . Farm" Harvest Day on 14 January.

Last year, the Trust invited the young local artist Zue Chan to lead a group of children from disadvantaged families in Tin Shui Wai and children of colleagues in painting an outdoor mural to bring art into Langham Place Mall. The activity also marked the debut of "Love . Play . Farm" activities. Other than being a visual attraction, the mural painting stands for Champion REIT's efforts to connect different groups in the community and hopes to instill in the children the awareness of green living style.
The Trust has also leveraged Langham Place Mall's prime location to hold organic urban farming workshops for tenants that they experienced planting seasonal produces like kale, cauliflower and eggplant. Tenants learned organic farming techniques, including sowing seeds, using fertilisers and watering, and enjoyed the fun and happy surprises from farming. On the Harvest Day, tenants had great satisfaction reaping the vegetables they grew, appreciating the fruit of their hard work. The Trust also has a few coffee trees growing in the farm at Langham Place Mall, rather rare in Hong Kong.
Moreover, the Trust has been cooperating with The Coffee Academics to recycle coffee grounds into fertiliser. The two partners have also used the mint leaves harvested from the farm to create the "First-in-Hong Kong", organic Mint Lemonade drink, a true example of the "waste to farm to table" concept. To encourage living green in the community, the Trust donated 240 cans of Mint Lemonade to St. James' Settlement and Haven of Hope Christian Service.
Ms Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, "The 'Love . Play . Farm' Harvest Day could not have been possible without tenants' strong support and active participation. Looking ahead, on top of focusing on sustainable development, we will keep looking to work with different stakeholders to promote waste and carbon reduction, aiming for synergies so that we may boost the overall well-being of stakeholders."
