Description






Built around horticultural therapy principles, the grounds are specifically tailored for individuals navigating Alzheimer's or dementia, along with their caregivers. The layout eliminates dead ends to reduce confusion, maintaining a predictable flow bounded by secure fencing. For hands-on engagement and reflection, raised beds enable accessible gardening, framed by contrasting visual tones and fragrant plantings chosen to stimulate sensory recall.
