Yeap Keat Tong, a 66-year-old Singaporean gardener with a history of large-scale planting projects and award-winning teams, is now focused on fostering stronger communities. His current work centers around combating social isolation, particularly among retirees. Mr. Yeap leverages gardening as a tool to connect people and build a sense of belonging, reminiscent of the traditional "kampung" spirit—a close-knit community atmosphere. He believes shared gardening activities offer more than just fresh produce; they provide opportunities for social interaction and purpose. This approach addresses a growing need for social connection in an increasingly urbanized society. Through his efforts, Yeap aims to improve the well-being of seniors and recreate a stronger sense of community in Singapore.
