GARDENS @ STRAITS

A MASTER GARDENER’S TOUCH

The Gardens@Straits programme was initiated in 2021.

Under the guidance of Uncle Ng, a master gardener and founder of the NTU Community Herb Garden, he and his team of volunteers successfully transformed an empty piece of land into a healing garden filled with plants known for their medicinal properties. Uncle Ng warmly welcomes volunteers and plant enthusiasts who are keen to learn more about cultivating these beneficial herbs.

*Updated: Uncle Ng has since retired from the programme.

HEALING THROUGH GREEN POWER

Led by our in-house Herbalist Zhuang Minshan, who wrote an iconic book detailing the herbs in our gardens, we have plans to expand the garden and increase the variety of herbs grown.

Gardens@Straits is a community-based, non-commercial project that seeks to transform urban spaces into green healing zones designed to support medical, physical, and psychological healing, grounded in scientific evidence and research through our partnerships.
