CNA Up Close: How a trained psychologist is growing both a green oasis and a community

Description

Amid a concrete jungle of housing estates in Bukit Batok, community gardener Jon Tay has helped nurture a green oasis. But for the trained psychologist, tending a garden is as much about people as it is about plants. Through workshops and time in the garden, he is helping residents learn new skills, unwind and form new friendships. In this week's Up Close, Chloe Teo discovers how Jon is growing more than just plants.
