Caregiving is one of the most noble and necessary roles in our society, and that includes our dedicated domestic care assistants who quietly hold families together every single day.

To acknowledge and thank them for their invaluable contributions, a meaningful Sunday morning was organised by The Salvation Army Peacehaven under the It Takes a Village programme, together with .community Uplifters.

We spent the morning slowing down and engaging in a simple yet heartfelt activity: pressed flower frame art. 🌸✨

As hands carefully arranged petals and leaves, conversations flowed gently. There was laughter, quiet reflection, and a shared sense of appreciation. In preserving these delicate blooms, we were also honouring the often unseen care and dedication these women bring into homes every day.

Sometimes, the most meaningful gratitude is expressed not through grand gestures, but through space: space to create, to connect, and to be appreciated.

Thank you to all caregivers and domestic care assistants. Your work matters. Your presence matters. You matter. 💛

Plant Therapy Studio will be hosting the Ideas Festival 2026 session "From Ecosystem Services to Cultural Wellbeing: Ground-Up Pathways for Resilience"

Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) is the non-material benefits we derive from nature, including identity, heritage, and wellbeing. Through the lens of therapeutic horticulture, we’ll explore how ground-up, nature-based practices nurture social cohesion, mental health, and community resilience.

Resilience isn’t just infrastructural, it’s cultural and ecological. It flourishes when people, place, and practice are interwoven.

Join us to reimagine wellbeing as something we actively cultivate.
Date: Thursday, 5 March 2026
Time: 5:00 - 6:30pm

We’re proud to share that our Founder and Principal, Tham Xin Kai , HTR has been featured in the American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) Magazine – Cultivating Healing, Fall 2025!

Together with .singapore Institute of Mental Health practitioners Pak Phi Lee (THP), they are the first AHTA-recognised Registered Horticultural Therapist (HTR) and Therapeutic Horticultural Practitioner (THP) in Singapore. This milestone marks an important step forward for the recognition of horticultural therapy and therapeutic horticulture in the region.

As the need grows to better understand how nature supports rehabilitation and mental wellness, having the right professional standards and evidence-based approaches is more important than ever. AHTA certification is a meaningful acknowledgement of the credibility, trust, and reliability of our certified practitioners, and a strong foundation for advancing nature-based therapy in Singapore and beyond.

Great session today at Telok Blangah Hill Park for the last Saturday of November!

Our public run of therapeutic horticulture brought participants together on a sensory and scenic walk through the Therapeutic Garden, taking in the colours, fragrances, and calming atmosphere of nature.

As part of the session, participants also learnt plant propagation through stem cuttings using a selection of fragrant and familiar herbs: Indian Borage (Plectranthus amboinicus), Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Thai Basil (Ocimum basilicum var. thyrsiflora), and Peppermint (Mentha × piperita).

Everyone had the chance to discover the many benefits of these herbs from the Lamiaceae family and how easy they are to grow at home. A simple and meaningful way to reconnect with nature and wellbeing. 🌱✨

Back at KPMG Wellness Garden for another round of therapeutic horticulture with our active ageing seniors! 💚

This week’s activity: growing sprouts from seeds: Maple Pea (豆苗) and Wheatgrass (小麦草).
These tiny greens are loaded with vitamins A, B, C, K, antioxidants, chlorophyll, and minerals that support immunity, energy and healthy skin. 🌿✨

Our seniors enjoyed the hands-on process of sowing, watering, and observing their seeds: an activity that engages both the mind and body. We also explored the beautiful plants growing around the therapeutic garden, sparking curiosity and conversation.

A lovely way to conclude our November sessions! 🌾🌱
Looking forward to more green moments in December.

This week, our senior participants enjoyed making pressed-flower wooden keychains in the verdant surrounding of Yishun Pond Park. Surrounded by soothing greenery and gentle breezes, participants took their time selecting flowers, and creating their own personalised keepsake.

Through this simple nature-based activity, they practised fine motor skills, creativity, and mindful engagement with plants, all while enjoying each other’s company in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Another meaningful afternoon spent growing connection, confidence, and joy through nature. 🌸💜

Our final session of nature-based activities with the seniors at Bukit Panjang introduced them to the art of decoupage on glass containers. ✨

A slightly challenging yet fulfilling activity, it engaged both physical and cognitive skills: from holding, anchoring, and picking, to arranging, balancing, and practicing patience.

With support from staff and caregivers, our seniors created beautiful glass art - something many once thought they couldn’t achieve on their own. 💚

A wonderful reminder that creativity and learning have no age limit!
