The design of a community garden in Choa Chu Kang has given some residents goosebumps.  Located next to Block 672A Choa Chu Kang Crescent, the gardening plots resemble graves, said some residents.  There are a total of 21 gardening plots enclosed by cement walls, Shin Min Daily News reported.  A woman surnamed Wu, who has lived in the estate for 25 years, told the Chinese evening daily that the new community garden allows residents who love gardening to grow plants.  However, the 74-year-old found the garden's design unsettling.  «When you look down at the community garden from the upper floors, it looks even more like a cemetery,» she said, adding that her friend has similar sentiments. A resident surnamed Wang said: «When I walk past the community garden at night, I get spooked by the inauspicious sight. So, I'll make a detour.» The orderly arrangement of the gardening plots contributed to its cemetery-like appearance, a resident surnamed Huang noted. «If a fence was built around the area, maybe it would look less [like a cemetery], or the plants could simply be grown on land,» said the 79-year-old.
