Sowing and growing with SPACE 2 GROW

The delayed sowing season has slowed the progress of seed preparation for us all.  SPACE 2 GROW has maintained table top sowing programmes with all garden groups. Using large, easy to handle seeds in big containers, the process becomes achievable for all participants. Those with dementia can often find activities involving co-ordination, concentration and dexterity difficult and often find themselves excluded; however with an adaptable approach inclusiveness is guaranteed. Social and therapeutic horticulture can be a very positive undertaking for those diagnosed with dementia – those groups who regularly work with SPACE 2 GROW find great benefit arising.
