On Saturday (Oct. 23), the National Parks Board (NParks) opened Singapore's largest therapeutic garden at Jurong Lake Gardens.

The 3,100 square metre therapeutic garden, which is part of efforts to intensify nature and bring forth the benefits of greenery to Singaporeans, contains dedicated sections for children and adults alike.

......

The Therapeutic Garden @ Jurong Lake Gardens was designed using science-based principles, and is planned deliberately to facilitate visitors' interactions with nature and improve their mental well-being.

It includes design elements and user-friendly features to support the needs of children and seniors alike, including children with mild autism and ADHD and seniors with dementia.

......

The Therapeutic Garden @ Jurong Lake Gardens is the seventh therapeutic garden in NParks' growing network of therapeutic gardens across the island. By 2030, NParks plans to establish 30 therapeutic gardens across Singapore, as they work toward transforming Singapore into a "City in Nature".

Two more therapeutic gardens will open at Pasir Ris Park and Bedok Reservoir Park later in 2021.
