Spring is here, so that means it’s time for gardening. Taiwan has a tropical climate with plenty of sunshine, so it’s perfect for growing just about anything. Best of all, you can get started for free.
This Green initiative is sponsored by the Kaohsiung government, so only residents of Kaohsiung who hold the Taiwanese national ID card or the Alien Resident Certificate can get free potted plants. There is a limit of 3 plants per ID card holder every 3 months. The attendant will verify the address on your ID card when you register.
