Abstract Its latest issue features “The Learning Forest: Fostering Connections with Nature”, authored by NParks’ CEO and colleagues, which describes the biophilic design approach in creating the aesthetically attractive and immersive landscape of the freshwater wetland forest. Along with the feature write-up, the selection of articles highlight the importance of restorative green spaces and human-nature interaction programmes in urban communities. For instance, “Cultivating and Measuring the Benefits of Community Gardens” discusses international practices in metropolitan cities like New York and London, bringing to light the effective tools that are applied to enhance the social impacts of community gardening. And “Do all gardens heal the same” gives a comprehensive understanding of the several different healing garden types, as well as their characteristics and benefits.
