We have a beautiful, mature front garden and an enclosed secure rear courtyard garden with a vegetable patch where residents can enjoy the outdoors at their leisure. Residents can assist in growing vegetables and tend the garden as well as mowing the lawn if they wish. The gardens have also been designed sympathetically, with dementia care in mind.
" To have the opportunity to be in the garden, to do something that is creative and active, that brings happiness and pleasure is crucially important to feelings of ‘being at home’ "
Bhatti, 2006
