Breathing new life into the concept of a sensory garden and celebrating 60 years of The Abbeyfield Society, the design has created a calming space for older people and specifically those living with dementia.
The garden’s curves reflect the steady rhythm of breathing. At the heart is a brimming water bowl. Willow trees and blocks of grasses enrich the sounds and movement of the garden, which gently encourages people to venture outside.
