The herbal planting program is a landscape solution that provides early social intervention for the homeless .It is based on the high-density urban background and traditional Chinese culture, which is site specific. It emphasizes transitional work, additional economic income, primary health care, and more accessible social resources. At the same time, this project will inspire others about the difficulties faced by the homeless in Hong Kong under the existing resource system, as well as their inherent dynamism and possibility. Through the redesign of urban park, where the homelessness gather, it becomes a transformative place that set forth a positive environment of hope, dignity and possibility.
