Cavite’s ‘Happy Garden’

Organic green salad with edible flowers from Sonya’s Garden in Tagaytay, crispy mushrooms and mushroom sauces from Joyce Mushroom Kitchen, pure bee honey from Marshal’s Farm that can also be used as a face cream, handcrafted Lumos soy candles, fresh herbs to spice up home cooked meals — these and more were part of the delightful treasure trove of local products feted in the recent event Cavite’s Happy Garden at SM City Dasmariñas, SM City Bacoor and SM City Molino.

This one-stop shop presented healthier and more natural options from local farmers and small entrepreneurs in Cavite and nearby towns in support of the microbusiness unit. The exhibit showcased a variety of crops, herbal and medicinal plants, and different organic byproducts. It also featured plants in light of the growing plantito and plantita community in the region.
