PRINCESS CHRISTIAN RESIDENTIAL HOME - BISLEY GARDEN

It has been very rewarding to see how the newly designed gardens for the Princess Christian care home have improved the lives of the residents. More time is now spent outdoors which helps promote good health, independence and strengthens social connections with other residents, staff and visiting friends and family. This care home specialises in dementia care, therefore the gardens have been carefully designed to not only be beautiful and calming, but also safe and accessible, specifically designed with the needs of the residents in mind.

Three exterior areas have been redesigned and improved; the Bisley garden, the Pet Therapy garden and the gardens that welcome you at the front of the care home on arrival. The main residents' garden is the Bisley garden, secluded at the rear of the property, has received a full redesign. The new design includes wide wheelchair-friendly paths surrounded by sensory planting, a pergola walkway adorned with scented roses, a gentle bubbling water feature, seating areas, a new residents’ accessible potting shed next to raised planting beds for growing fruit, vegetables and edimentals.
