| Annotation | Three short articles show some different approaches to providing gardens for people with dementia, and how they can be applied in everyday practice. Sally Furness describes the development of a sensory garden at Charlecote Park in Warwickshire. Her article shows how dementia-friendly spaces can be provided within public spaces. Next, Maggie Weatherby, a Development Officer at the Haringey Branch of the Alzheimer's Society discusses the Grange Garden Project, a garden for people with dementia at a day centre. Lastly, Simon Politt, who manages a care home for people with dementia in north London, gives an account of a sensory garden and an allotment garden, where service users can grow flowers and vegetables with the assistance of support staff. He shows how gardening can become an important part of an activities programme in long-term care. (RH). |
