Advertising Feature WE all feel better after an hour or two of gardening: the fresh air, the exercise and the sim- ple joy of being surrounded by beautiful flowers and the fruits of our labour. But for some people, the ben- efits go even further. “A garden can help people liv— ing with dementia“ says Jere- my Hughes, Alzheimer’s Soci— ety chief executive. “They can enjoy socialising. as well as taking part in physical activ ity and stimulating the senses, all of which greatly improve their wellbeing." The regularity of nurturing plants on a daily basis also adds structure to the day of those living with dementia, while being involved in gar- dening activities like sowing seeds and watering plants gives a better sense of control. the Society explains. The cycle of sowing, nurtur~ ' ing, growing and harvesting plants helps give a better per- ception of their lives. Also, the delicate nature of some gar- dening activities can help to maintain or improve fine mo- tor skills and increase spatial awareness. Garden activities can also help those with dementia talk about their past lives by reminding them about simi- lar activities when they were younger, for example what plants, flowers or vegetables they used to grow. Research shows that garden- ing can also help the wellbeing of younger people with early onset dementia. “Younger people with demen— tia want and need activities which are productive because they are still seeking activities which mimic the workplace model,” says Jill Walton, sup- port group co- ordinator at the Frontotemporal Dementia Support Group (wwwftdsg. org), which provides support and information to carers of young people with dementia.
