Wellness Celebration Garden Vibes Returns for a Day of Fun this May 2025

by: The Beat Asia

May 07, 2025

by: The Beat Asia

Back by popular demand, Garden Vibes returns for its second edition on May 24, 2025, at Serangoon Gardens, hosted by Little Farms and myVillage. This one-day celebration brings together an open-air farmers’ market, wellness workshops, and vibrant community moments — all in the spirit of better living through clean, conscious food.

Meet the Makers, Taste the Difference

Over 20 producers hailing from New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and Singapore will be presenting a sample, curated lineup that perfectly captures their story and their commitment to quality.

The Butchery at Little Farms also presents two cuts with a backstory:

Green Meadows Beef: A family-owned farm in Taranaki, New Zealand, producing premium grass-fed Angus beef with full control over both farming and manufacturing.
Roaring Forties Lamb: Named after the wild winds from Antarctica, this lamb is raised on the fertile, temperate pastures of Southern Victoria and Tasmania — lands nourished by some of the cleanest air in the world, as recorded at Cape Grim.

Homegrown chocolate boutique BerryBar will be serving their signature chocolate-dipped strawberries to the Garden Vibes crowd for the first time, featuring only the finest seasonal strawberries available exclusively at Little Farms.

Sip and Celebrate

Little Farms has also spent the last three years expanding its direct-from-vineyard wine programme — now having over 75% of its wine sourced straight from the cellar door. One example is Dandelion wines, rooted in tradition and storytelling, Dandelion Vineyards joins generations of expertise together to create elegant Australian wines filled with character and soul.

Other highlights from the drinks program will include:

Miraval Rosé (France): Exclusively available at Little Farms, this celebrated rosé from Provence is known for its fresh, fruit-forward aroma and refined structure, grown on exceptional terroirs that capture the essence of southern France.
Bruny Island Beer and Prohibition Gin (Australia): Two of Australia’s most exciting small-batch producers.
Mount Brown Estate (New Zealand): Mount Brown Estate crafts vibrant, award-winning wines with a true sense of place from the hidden gem of New Zealand’s Waipara Valley
Parés Baltà Wines (Spain): Organic and family-run, Parés Baltà blends centuries-old heritage with innovation, producing expressive Spanish wines that celebrate the land and its biodiversity.

Rooftop Wellness Activities

Yoga sessions will be held at the rooftop — Courtesy of Garden Vibes

Garden Vibes’ wellness zone is a tranquil urban escape that offers movement, mindfulness, and education for all ages and stages of the wellness journey.

One key highlight of the day is the Rethink Your Pantry – Real Talk on Everyday Food Swaps panel discussion that is set to take place from 1 PM to 1:45 PM on the rooftop of myVillage. This thought-provoking session will bring together four diverse voices from the worlds of food, wellness, and family life.

The panel discussion will be helmed by Tom Gray, Commercial Director of Little Farms, Dr. Valerie Druon, a family physician from Osler Health, Matt Benfell, founder of Thrive Fitness, and Marie Bellin, a holistic nutritionist.

Also on the rooftop, Warrior Studios will lead partner yoga and movement sessions, guiding participants through mindful exercises designed to build strength, connection, and balance. Spirit Stretch Immersive Yoga Studio will be complementing the day’s activities with a meditation and breathwork session, followed by a calming Yin Yoga practice paired with a soothing sound bath — offering a chance to relax, reset, and reconnect.

Holistic nutritionist and Chickpea and Berries Founder Raphaelle Voog will be leading a hands-on session on creating wholesome lunchboxes for kids.

Family Fun

Children will enjoy an interactive Little Farmers' experience — Courtesy of Garden Vibes

Garden Vibes will also be filled with full-hand-on activities for the little ones and families throughout the day.

Disney on Beat by Warrior Studios is a lively dance class set to classic Disney songs, designed to get the kids moving and grooving with joy.
The Yard will be hosting gymnastic sessions, bringing their revolutionary approach to physical activity for acrobats and urban athletes to the festival.
The Little Farmers Workshop by Grobix offers an educational and interactive experience where kids can learn about urban farming, germinate their own seedlings, and take home a baby plant.

Each rooftop wellness activity will have a token participation fee starting from S$5.

Garden Vibes Menu

Little Farms Bar+Grill Serangoon Garden will be serving a Garden Vibes Dinner Menu exclusively on May 24 to round off the festivities. Priced at S$88++ for four courses, the meal opens with a Little Farms’ Avocado Hummus, a fresh, delicious starter that’s topped with pomegranate, Nectar Honeybee pollen, crispy chickpeas, and pickled onion, served alongside Iruela olive bread.

This is followed by a delicate Beef Carpaccio made with Green Meadows’ pepper-crusted tenderloin, garnished with quail egg, pickled shallots, and shaved Grana Padano.

Guests will enjoy Storm + India’s Tea-Smoked Black Cod paired with bok choy, Storm & India matcha, and a Forsyth Island mussel broth, finished with crispy shallots. The second main features the Roaring Forties Lamb Rack, served with Grobrix Mint Zhoug, pickled cucumber, crispy capers, and kale.

To end the day on a sweet note, dessert features a rich chocolate cake made with Nutra Organics collagen hot chocolate, complemented by Storm + India’s Tea kawakawa cream and a crisp Yarri TA30+ honey tuile.

Nintendo Pop ups Mario Kart Jewel Changi Airport

Racers, start your engines! Nintendo is once again heading to Jewel Changi Airport for another pop-up from now up till July 24, 2025.

Stock up on merchandise from fan-favorites like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Pikmin, and more! The pop-up is said to feature over 500 Nintendo merchandise items, which include 150 new and exclusive items that weren’t available in their previous pop-up.

To add to the fun and excitement of the Nintendo pop-up, the Jewel Changi airport will be decorated with Mario Kart-themed installations and photo spots — a first in Southeast Asia. Guests and visitors can even get to see the Jewel Changi rain vortex area transformed into the popular Rainbow Road racetrack!

Join Mario and the kart-racing gang in interactive installations spread throughout the Jewel Changi Circuit Challenge displays from Levels 1 to 4, starting at the centerpiece at Forest Valley. One of these installations includes a 1.3-meter-tall banana peel.

The pop-up event will also include a stamp rally, where visitors can collect all six stamps to score an exclusive Mario Kart sticker pack! It’s a blind-box concept, so you won’t know what you’ll get.

There’s also a sure-win Gachapon machine near the Level 1 Concierge, where players have the chance to win exciting prizes like shop vouchers, attraction tickets, discounts, and gift cards. You’ll only need to spend a minimum of S$80 in a single receipt purchase at participating Jewel Changi stores for a Gachapon token, or buy two tokens through the Changi App.

Here’s a pro-tip from Jewel Changi: pay by Mastercard for an extra token!

Don’t forget to make a pitstop at the Nintendo Pop-up and Mario Kart installations at the Jewel Changi Airport!
