Gardening For Mental Health

All about Dementia Garden

Dementia Garden is about more than just trimming hedges and mowing lawns. It's about looking after both the garden and the person. By helping the garden to thrive and grow, so we help ourselves to flourish too. With this in mind, I offer gardening for mental health for a wide range of people, both in person and online, helping them reconnect with their gardens, with nature, and with themselves. Learning about how to look after the plants and flowers in a garden also comes as part of the package!

About Heather

My approach is to tune in to the client's requirements blending my 20 years of gardening experience with my attuned listening skills. I specialise in garden therapy, offering small group workshops and one-on-one gardening sessions tailored for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. I bring plants, soil, and tools to your venue and set up accessible, table-based gardening activities that encourage gentle, meaningful engagement for everyone involved.

Mission statement

At Dementia Garden, my mission is to create meaningful, present-moment sensory experiences for individuals with early-onset and established dementia. Through gentle tabletop gardening, I aim to foster connection, enhance well-being, and promote a sense of community. My workshops, which begin with a calming Tai Chi and meditation sequence, invite participants to be present with their senses—seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, and hearing—while cultivating positive memories and improving dexterity. I believe that people living with dementia can continue to enjoy gardening as part of their community, without feeling overwhelmed, and maintain an active, fulfilling role as gardeners.
