SINGAPORE – Ms Sharon Wong, who got her East Coast Park Area D allotment garden plot in January, has had her plants stolen at least four times.
These incidents include people digging up her roselle plant directly from the 2.5m by 1m plot, cutting the leaves of her coriander plant and taking a pot of lemongrass she had planted.
