GKS Pamalar Garden Festival Venue

Located in Umbu Langgang, GKS Pamalar Garden Festival has been celebrated for two consecutive years. Established by the members of GKS Pamalar, a church in Central Sumba, this garden reflects the region’s strong agricultural heritage, as over 90% of the local population is involved in farming. The garden specializes in the cultivation of tomatoes, managed collectively by the church congregation. This initiative not only supports local agricultural practices but also fosters community engagement through collaborative efforts. Beyond its role as a productive agricultural site, the garden has become a notable tourist attraction. It offers visitors an opportunity to observe and participate in the tomato cultivation process, providing a unique insight into local farming practices. The festival and the garden’s open access contribute to raising awareness about the region’s agricultural traditions and enhance community pride.
