Where butterflies, dragonflies, and quiet joy take root
About Us
founder of LeafingSoil. My journey with gardening began in California, where I lived for five years. Watching my toddlers cradle an earthworm in their little hands - no fear, just wide-eyed wonder, so careful, as if they already knew it was precious - before pulling up their very first harvest reminded me that food grown with care nourishes both body and spirit. That joy is what I now share with others.
Back in Singapore, I rediscovered my eye for cultivation through community gardens and volunteering. Those experiences reinforced what I have always believed: healthy soil is the foundation of strong plants, nourishing food, and a grounded way of living.
Hi! I'm Sandra,
The concepts behind LeafingSoil
I'm naturally an introvert who loves quiet - so I keep things straight to the point, with no unnecessary fluff. I design every session to spark your questions - and I especially welcome you to challenge what I say. When I don't know something, you will not hear empty buzzwords or greenwashing. Instead I'll tell you honestly rather than pass off a guess as fact.
I'm a great believer that AI can help us find answers (I use it myself), but a sceptic too: I test what it tells me in my soil before passing it on.
And I hope you leave with the confidence to keep growing on your own.
Step into LeafingSoil -
Root deeply, work hard and honestly. That's what LeafingSoil is built on. With 25 years of hands-on experience across Singapore, California, Japan, and Taiwan and still learning every day, I warmly welcome individuals, organisations, and companies to partner with us and carry this vision further. Together, the garden becomes a living space for learning, hands-on projects, and shared discovery. I'm looking for partners who value action, and who want to help make Singapore a place where farmwork is sustainable and hardworking hands are truly valued.

Work hard and honestly
Today, my 600+sqft outdoor garden in west Singapore is a living classroom. I draw inspiration from permaculture, regenerative agriculture, food forest design, and syntropic farming but I don't follow any single method by the book. Instead, every session borrows what work best from each and adapts it, with creativity and care, to the unique space, climate, and people involved.
You’ll learn how to transform food waste into fertile soil, how to design edible spaces that are both productive and beautiful, and how to make even the smallest balcony or corridor thrive. Most importantly, I want you to fall in love with gardening - to approach it with curiosity, to try and try again without fear of failure, and to discover that every attempt, successful or not, is part of the joy of growing.
