Supporting Therapeutic Horticulture and Outdoor Education in Gan Eng Seng School

Following the successful launches of edible gardens in various educational institutions, Lam Soon is pleased to work with Gan Eng Seng School. The garden built was completed in July 2021.

Gan Eng Seng School embarked on the project to provide a new gardening experience for students and staff. The garden is a welcoming outdoor space that engages students in therapeutic horticulture under the Gear Up programme. A large variety of plants with vibrant colours were chosen to intrigue the senses and pique students’ interest. Activities are planned to equip the students with life skills while enjoying the benefits of gardening. Our partner, Edible Garden City, crafted the programme and trained both teachers and students to ensure the programme’s sustainability.

With the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions, Lam Soon was honoured to grace the official opening of the garden in April 2022. The participating students took the lead and gave a garden tour while introducing the curated vegetables and flowers. Tea (using roselle flower and mint leaves from the garden) was served as a refreshment.
