Now that it’s starting to feel like summer, this week’s
web pick feels extra appropriate. Gardens
for People with Dementia is a guideline written by Kim Grove and is meant
to help novice and expert gardeners design a garden for people with
dementia. These helpful tips are
written for any type of garden, whether for a private yard or for a nursing
home.
Kim Grove, a garden designer and blogger, covers
topics such as: how to structure the garden; safety considerations; creating
the right path; which colours to use; safe plants and creating appropriate lighting. Her blog expands
on some of the topics she touches on in the guideline and may be worth a
look.
