Or right-click on the editing window (technically the "canvas")  A
menu will open, do Windows > Toolbox.

Which also turns out to be control-b on the keyboard, per the
tooltip on the menu item.  I didn't know that.

But I didn't realize, either, that accidentally closing the
toolbox then re-opening it via the Toolbox menu item or etc.
brings up a new one:  The user's tool selection remains as it was,
but the dockable dialogs are flushed.

Putting the docks back is easy enough, but just as a bit of UI
polish, it would be nice if the GIMP wrote a more complete config
file on Toolbox closing, so as to add the thing "as the user left
it" to the Recently Closed dialog in the Windows menu for
one-click restoration.
