THE GARDENSHIP MODULE 1
at TAMAN KENTEN Community Garden,
The construction of The Gardenship TM under the CSV project aims to implement low-tech composting facilities at the Urban Farming Project in Taman Kenten, owned by Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang. The waste resources are from the green waste of the farm and food waste from the community housing around the sites.
Composting results with the Vermicompost process are worm casting, organic soil and liquid fertilizer. These results will be used for farming and gardening activities.
Another main purpose is also to educate people, kids and students around the Gardenship to know more about composting, especially food waste.
Module 1, Palembang 2023
Module 1 project is the first commercial project in Indonesia. We work closely with the CSV (create shared value) department of PT PUPUK SRIWIDJAJA. In addition to educating the local community, the aim of this project development is also a form of goodwill from the company to contribute to preserving the environment, especially in the field of organic waste management.
Every Indonesian on average throws away the equivalent of IDR 2.1 million per year. The results of the analysis, the value of food waste in Indonesia reaches IDR. 330 trillion per year.
THE GARDENSHIP TM
Gardenship is a food waste management facility that composts food waste, builds organic soil, grows food and creates educational spaces. These facilities are invented by Andrew Hayim De Vries and have the Patent/IP registered.
The main focus of the Gardenship is creating an educational platform and hands-on learning centre for the Community, Businesses, Academic Institutions and Government regarding the food waste stream, and at the moment food waste is one of the biggest issues in our environment because the number of food waste are getting higher each year in Indonesia as well as the rest of the world.

THE GARDENSHIP CAFE
The Gardenship Cafe offers a new and unique experience where a restaurant or cafe operates normally like a cafe during operational hours. Still, when it closes, it becomes a composting facility. The bench used for sitting is a beautifully designed compost box, odorless and does not attract mice. This concept is in line with the circular economy concept in food which is of course environmentally friendly and organic-certified. It’s serious working cafe ecosystem dealing with complete innovation and experiencing truly unique environment. Also this cafe can function as
a workshop venue, talks and seminars. It’s like a living laboratory of learning experience, breathtaking in all its wonder like no other. “Opening soon”
