The National Parks Board (Nparks) Today Opened Two New Therapeutic Gardens in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Tiong Bahru Park MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NParks opens two new therapeutic gardens in parks 19 September 2017 —The National Parks Board (NParks) today opened two new therapeutic gardens in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Tiong Bahru Park. NParks worked with the community to develop these therapeutic gardens which are designed to provide respite and improve the mental well-being of all visitors, including seniors. Minister for Health Mr Gan Kim Yong, who was the guest-of-honour, officiated the opening of the two new therapeutic gardens at an event in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park this morning, together with Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Social and Family Development, and Second Minister for National Development. Network of therapeutic gardens across Singapore With Singapore’s ageing population, the number of dementia-at-risk seniors and persons with dementia is expected to increase. NParks’ therapeutic gardens are not only designed with elderly-friendly features, but also to alleviate the onset of dementia through therapeutic horticulture. Woh Hup (Private) Limited, one of Singapore’s largest private construction group, donated $500,000 through the Garden City Fund for the development of the Therapeutic Garden @ Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and its programmes. NParks will continue to partner the community to develop a network of therapeutic gardens in parks across Singapore, including an upcoming garden in Choa Chu Kang Park which will be completed in 2018. This network of therapeutic gardens forms one of the key initiatives under the Action Plan for Successful Ageing report announced by the Ministerial Committee on Ageing in 2015. Page 1 of 4 For more information, please contact Kimberley Wang at 64717265 / 94368939. Information accurate as of 19 September 2017. NParks has developed customised therapeutic horticulture programmes and will work with eldercare centres and senior activity centres to conduct these programmes in the therapeutic gardens. The programmes are designed to increase social interaction among participants and to enable them to enjoy the benefits of interest in, and interaction with, nature. The activities such as nature art and gardening related activities, aim to increase the overall sense of well-being in the participants to promote healing and recovery. Research on therapeutic horticulture Research projects have been conducted by NParks to quantify the benefits of greenery on Singaporeans, and to enhance the design of green spaces and therapeutic horticulture programmes. A joint research with National University Health System (NUHS) titled Effects Of Therapeutic Horticulture On Asian Elderly’s Mental Health was completed in end 2016 . Findings showed that therapeutic horticulture brings about improvement in the psychological well-being of seniors. The results demonstrated that participants in the active therapeutic horticulture group report higher life satisfaction and feel more socially connected when compared to those in the control group. In particular, participants in the active therapeutic horticulture group have a lower risk of experiencing depression and a variety of inflammation-associated diseases and are likely to report higher scores in psychological well-being and positive relationships. NParks and NUHS embarked on a new study Effects Of Therapeutic Horticulture On Elderly At Risk Of Cognitive Decline this year. It will provide important data on the efficacy of therapeutic horticulture in the prevention of dementia. More details about the research projects can be found in Factsheet A. Capability building The new therapeutic gardens in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Tiong Bahru Park were established based on best practices and evidence-based design principles, drawing Page 2 of 4 For more information, please contact Kimberley Wang at 64717265 / 94368939.

Therapeutic Garden @ HortPark, Singapore’s first therapeutic garden in a public park which opened in May 2016, served as a reference for these new gardens. More details of the design of the new therapeutic gardens can be found in Factsheets B and C. Since the launch of the Therapeutic Garden @ HortPark, there has been growing interest in developing these gardens. NParks has produced a set of design guidelines on the key characteristics of therapeutic gardens to serve as a useful resource for other organisations to incorporate such therapeutic environments in their facilities. Interested organisations can download the guidelines at https://www.nparks.gov.sg/gardens-parks-and-nature/therapeutic-gardens . In addition, NParks’ Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology (CUGE) will start offering a Certificate in Therapeutic Horticulture in December 2017. The 12.5 days programme, conducted over a period of three months, is open to all who are interested to pick up skills in therapeutic horticulture, such as healthcare and social care practitioners, as well as landscape designers, managers and horticulturists. It will help to train and equip professionals to create and implement therapeutic horticulture activities for seniors and other groups of clients with special needs. Conducted by local and international experts, the programme will cover three domains: horticulture, human science and therapeutic horticulture. CUGE will also continue to organise workshops to share best practices in therapeutic horticulture.

    | FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2018 | THE STRAITS TIMES | happenings life D7 John Lui Film Correspondent and Yip Wai Yee Entertainment Correspondent Picks recommend Film SHOPLIFTERS (M18) 121 minutes/ Ideas explored in this winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s highest prize, the Palme d’Or, include the meaning of family and how society’s definition of family often runs counter to how people actually behave. These are familiar themes for fans of Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s work, but here, they are packaged in a story that might be his strongest and most accessible yet. A crew of petty thieves and day labourers find a pre-schooler who appears to be abused. The older man, Osamu (Lily Franky, right), wants to give shelter to the girl, but the others in the group say she should be returned to her family. The film also stars Kirin Kiki (far right). John Lui JJANG WEDNESDAY PHOTOS: GOLDEN Fans of South Korean films should VILLAGE keep their Wednesdays free because one new Korean movie will be screened every hump day for six consecutive weeks, from now until the middle of next month. One of the films is crime thriller The Vanished (2018), about the mysterious disappearance of a powerful woman’s corpse from the morgue. Another is romantic comedy What A Man Wants (2018, right, with Lee El and Shin Ha-kyun), about how a married taxi driver’s cheating ways start to rub off on his brother-in-law.
