About The Little Garden Living (TLG Living)
Our story
Founded by Ms Cynthia Wong since May 2013 in Hong Kong, The Little Garden Living has been experiencing rapid business development and changes. In 2018, we decided to redefine the Mission of TLG Living in order to reflect our future development in meeting the needs of Hongkongers :
"The Little Garden Living advocates the alternative lifestyle from personal to business level by providing organic farming, garden design and gardening, nature related products and services to those who seek freedom and authenticity through nature. "
Our Motto :
"Sparking the Passion for the Alternative Lifestyle in the wisdom of Mother Nature."
With the background in organic farming movement, Cynthia started The Little Garden Organic Farm by leveraging on the opportunity of living in village where she learns the valuable knowledge of traditional farming techniques from the local farmers on daily basis. We are pioneer in researching, growing and marketing of edible flowers in local market. We advocate the use and save of local organic seeds as a mean to maintain biodiversity and local village culture and values. We create the "real farm to tea pot" organic herbal tea brand -- Present ! Organic Tea -- in an abandoned farmhouse and farmland. We proud of our high quality farm products which are 100% grown in Hong Kong soil.
