Peaceful gardens designed to be safe, inclusive, and a favourite place for relaxation and social connection.
Having regular access to a safe outdoor space allows residents to enjoy fresh air, spend time in nature, and take part in gentle activity. Time in the garden is known to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost both mental and physical wellbeing. It is also a wonderful space for socialising with other residents or enjoying visits from loved ones in a calm, natural setting.
Residents can take part in a variety of activities in the gardens, such as light gardening, outdoor games, exercise sessions, or seasonal events like barbecues and afternoon teas. Many residents also enjoy simply sitting outdoors with a cup of tea, reading a book, or spending time with family. The flexibility of the gardens makes them suitable for both organised activities and personal relaxation.
The gardens have been carefully designed to ensure that everyone can use them safely and comfortably. Pathways are smooth, wide, and fully wheelchair accessible, with plenty of resting points along the way. Seating is placed in shaded and sunny spots to suit different preferences, and the secure gated access ensures residents can enjoy the outdoors with peace of mind. Staff are always available to provide assistance where needed, making the gardens inclusive for all.
