Blooms of September 🌸
September is blooming beautifully — especially with our Pink Trumpet Trees (Tabebuia rosea) in full bloom.

As we pause to admire these gentle bursts of pink, we are reminded of the colours of life and the quiet gifts that Nature offers us. Simply gazing at flowers can be a calm and joyful experience — a moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

Environmental psychologists Rachel and Stephen Kaplan describe this as “soft fascination” — an effortless form of attention that allows the mind to rest and recover from mental fatigue. Watching flowers sway, noticing their colours, or simply being present with blooms can offer a gentle sense of restoration.

In Japan, Hanami — the tradition of flower viewing — brings people together under blooming sakura trees to enjoy beauty, food, and companionship.

What if we dedicated September as a month to appreciate flowers in bloom?

Take a mindful moment this month: look up, slow down, and let the blooms remind you of life’s simple beauty. 🌿🌺

Can moss art-making be turned into a team bonding activity? Absolutely.

Here’s a throwback to one of our earlier corporate TH sessions at Plant Therapy Studio, where we hosted a departmental team bonding experience with a creative twist.

Instead of creating individual pieces, the team came together to design and build one collective moss art masterpiece. Through the process of planning, discussing, and creating together, each team member had the opportunity to contribute their unique strengths toward a shared vision.

The experience became more than just an art session: it was a meaningful reflection of how empathy, resilience, communication, and team spirit come together in a collaborative environment.

More importantly, the final piece was not just a beautiful artwork, but also a platform for team members to better understand themselves and one another, while recognising the important role each person plays within an organisation.

The process of creating moss frame art serves as a hands-on simulation of real workplace dynamics, where alignment, understanding, and unity are essential to achieving something meaningful together.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with 云朵心艺心理 Cloud Journey, an organisation based in Shenzhen, China, that focuses on promoting mental health and wellbeing through nature-based and therapeutic approaches.

Together with a team of practitioners, we will be conducting a 26-lesson online course on the “Fundamentals and Application of Horticultural Therapy” from 26 September to 19 December 2026.

Throwback to our therapeutic horticulture session with a cancer and caregiving support group 🌿💐

Through the simple act of making pressed flower bookmarks, participants found a small moment of calm, creativity, and reflection.

Working with delicate flowers and leaves reminds us of the fragile nature of life, but also how fragility can be transformed into something beautiful, strong, and resilient. In many ways, it reflects the journey of both cancer survivors and caregivers as they move through recovery and healing.

Like a bookmark that holds a place in a story, this activity encouraged participants to slow down, care for themselves, and show gratitude for how far they have come.

Thank you for having Terrapy SG be part of your journey 💚

Throwback to last month, when we hosted students from the NAFA-UAS Diploma in Design (Landscape and Architecture) for a Hapa Zome session.

It was a wonderful opportunity to explore creativity through nature, hands-on making, and material experimentation 💚

We wrapped up our design review consultancy last month for EcoWorld’s Eco Radiance development in Semenyih, Selangor.

Our team developed guiding principles to help shape the project’s therapeutic and contemplative design elements: making this a particularly meaningful collaboration with a developer so genuinely committed to building a sustainable, endearing community rooted in wellbeing.

Together with Consulus and Shubin+Tan Landscape Architecture, we concluded the session with a walkthrough of the show area landscape and interiorscapes, highlighting key contemplative and therapeutic design features. The experience ended with a sensory engagement at the edible garden, thoughtfully curated by Eats, Shoots and Roots, followed by a hands-on scented sachet-making activity.

Congratulations to the EcoWorld team — Evon, Donny, Azizulhalim, Feyriyss, Cathrine, and many others — on the continued sales success of Eco Radiance!

After two beautiful years of operating Plant Therapy Studio, we share with mixed emotions that we will be closing Plant Therapy Studio at City Sprouts (Henderson), as we explore new ways to continue serving our clients through nature-based programmes.

Our time in the greenhouse has been incredibly special. It has been a joy and privilege to welcome so many of you into this little green space: a place that came alive not just with plants, but with your stories, laughter, conversations, and presence. From corporate gatherings and social events to quiet walk-ins and visits from friends, each moment shared here has meant so much to us.

Thank you for filling our greenhouse with warmth, inspiration, and life. You helped shape Plant Therapy Studio into more than just a venue: it became a living, breathing space of connection, reflection, and community.

While we will no longer be operating from the greenhouse, our belief in the healing and restorative power of plant-rich, nature-filled environments remains unchanged. We are still deeply committed to creating meaningful nature-based experiences and conversations for our clients and community, and we look forward to finding new ways to do so.

Thank you for being part of this chapter and for growing with us. This is not goodbye: just a new season, and we hope you will continue the journey with us.

With gratitude
Xin Kai

Yesterday, together with 🌱, we hosted members from Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) and .international , sharing how urban farming and therapeutic horticulture can intersect with the built environment.

At first, therapeutic horticulture might seem far removed from architecture. But as our environments become more layered and immersive, the way people feel in spaces matters just as much as how they function.

Greenery in buildings is no longer new - planters, green roofs, walls. But can we go deeper? How do people actually use these spaces? And how can they support wellbeing: physically, socially, and mentally?

We don’t have all the answers. But we believe in starting the conversation, and continuing to explore how nature-based interventions can shape better design outcomes.

At Terrapy SG, we’ll keep advocating for these approaches, bringing nature closer into the way we design, build, and live 🌿
