Supporting Therapeutic Horticulture in Gan Eng Seng School

Singapore

Jul 2021

Gan Eng Seng School is the latest institution that Lam Soon supported in the building of an edible garden within the school.

The school has embarked on the project to provide a new gardening experience for students and staff. The garden is a welcoming outdoor space that engages vulnerable 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 programming and trained bother teachers and students to ensure the programme’s sustainability.
