It’s been over a year since the President’s Kitchen Garden in Attard shut its gates for refurbishment, and locals are starting to wonder when, or if, it will reopen.The official Facebook page of the Office of the Presidency last posted an update on 1st August 2024, stating:“The Office of the Presidency informs the general public that the Kitchen Garden is closed so that necessary works are carried out. The public will be informed when it re-opens.”Since then, there have been no further announcements, and residents are growing increasingly frustrated. After TV personality @ben.camille shared a story mentioning the popular family spot, many people replied expressing disappointment at the prolonged closure.One parent said their children “still ask to go there after a year,” while another commenter noted that it’s been “over a year closed” and fears it may stay that way, citing feedback from the official page. Others questioned whether any refurbishment work was ever underway, with one local saying they pass by daily and have “never seen workmen or vans around.”The President’s Kitchen Garden, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and outdoor café, has long been a favourite destination for parents and children alike. Its extended closure has left many hoping for updates, and a clear timeline for when the garden will once again open its doors to the public.Lovin Malta has reached out to the Presidents Office on this issue.What do you think of this situation?Photo credits to @ben.camille and the Kitchen Garden on Facebook•
