Whispers of the Garden-A Waterway Memory
Work in progress

This morning, I return to the waterway around my neighbourhood-the Sengkang-Punggol Waterway.

Through repeated walks, the landscape slowly imprints itself: the rhythm of water, shifting greens, passing conversations, moments of presence & loss.

Painted on calico, this work gathers those fragments as lived memory.

Today, I begin painting the water as move through cloth, the way memory does.

🎓💐 A Proud Mama Moment | The Mystic Gardens

A day to remember — three generations of love and one incredible milestone. 🌸
From grandma’s gentle pride to my sister’s unwavering support, this moment was made even more special as we watched my girl receive her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from SUSS. 💞

Her bouquet was lovingly designed by The Mystic Gardens, featuring a blend of pink hues — blush, rose, and champagne — symbolising love, gratitude, and new beginnings.
A custom Hello Kitty graduation plush added that touch of sweetness and joy — a reminder that even as we grow, we carry the same light within us. 🎀

💐 Celebrate your loved ones’ milestones with a bespoke bouquet from The Mystic Gardens — crafted with meaning, love, and artistry.

🌕✨ Light of Reunion – Mid-Autumn at One Punggol ✨🌕

This past weekend, the Mystic Gardens team gathered with families and friends at One Punggol to celebrate the spirit of reunion and creativity under the glow of the full moon. 🌸🐇

Participants of all ages crafted their own Origami LED Lanterns, blending traditional symbolism — the lotus of peace and Jade Rabbit of the Moon — with modern light and design.
Each lantern became a heartfelt wish for harmony, togetherness, and new beginnings. 💛

From folding paper lotus petals to assembling the radiant frame, the workshop was filled with laughter, stories, and glowing smiles. Thank you to everyone who joined and made this community moment shine so bright! 🌕💫

We can’t wait to share more botanical-inspired art & cultural craft workshops ahead — stay tuned for our upcoming festive series with Mystic Gardens Pte Ltd. 🌿

🌿 A Jar of Love — Mother’s Day Herbarium Workshop
This Mother’s Day, families gathered at One Punggol Community Centre, who engaged The Mystic Gardens to facilitate a workshop unlike any other—where love was preserved in a jar.

What made it so special?
✨ Families of all ages slowed down to spend meaningful time with their loved ones
✨ They created a lasting keepsake using preserved strawflowers, lavender, baby’s breath, fern, and phalaris
✨ The workshop welcomed both young and older children, making it a truly multi-generational experience
✨ Each herbarium jar was sealed with clear oil, tied with a golden thread, and completed with a personal message—turning it into a heartfelt gift for mum

This wasn’t just a craft—it was a memory made with love, captured in glass.

Thank you, Punggol One CC, for inviting us to share this beautiful experience with your community.

🌊 Plastic Wave: Reimagined Growth
A sustainability-driven installation by @jentokartworks, presented at NAFA as part of her Material Studies project.

This immersive artwork transforms one-time-use plastic waste into a symbolic living ecosystem. The wave-shaped structure is built from discarded plastics, wire mesh, and thriving microgreens growing in upcycled planters — representing both the environmental crisis and the potential for renewal.

As part of the project, participants attended hands-on workshops where they transformed plastic waste into planters to grow microgreens. Each participant contributed one planter to the installation, creating a meaningful and collective statement of environmental care and creativity.

A QR code beneath the work links to a digital hub to learn more about the process, microgreen care, and sustainable practices.

At The Mystic Gardens, we celebrate the use of nature, art, and community to nurture purpose and healing — and Plastic Wave is a beautiful reflection of that spirit.

This installation was created as part of the artist’s Material Studies module at NAFA, and is shared here through The Mystic Gardens to inspire sustainable creativity and community care.

We had a wondering session creating preserved moss/ lichen artwork with 5 easy steps:
1. Get Ready
Prepare MG Moss kit & clear hot glue which binds well to the moss onto the frame backing.

2. Have an Inspiration
You may look at your own story or search online for ideas..
Nature is our inpiration, thus we when with floral & botanical theme.
Always think out of the frame ; )

3. Create
Start by gluing each piece of moss that was placed on the frame during the design stage.

4. Good Tip
When attaching the moss, be gentle and press gently if you want to retain some fluffy section.

5. Wall your Creation
Simply hang your new moss art on the wall or set it on a shelf after you have done with your creation! Voila!
You can add more to your moss wall by building a full wall of moss frames or alternatively, group frames together to resemble panelling.
You‘ll have a unique green wall that you made yourself!
