About Us

Welcome to The Red Shed Project – The Dementia Garden for Wellbeing.

The Red Shed Project provides a service for people living with dementia and their carers. 

Our experienced workshop leaders are trained in horticulture and horticultural thereapy and are supported by a team of experienced volunteers.  Together they deliver garden-based activities and experiences aimed to improve and enhance physical and mental health, well being and alleviate loneliness and isolation.

Gardening is one of the most popular past-times in the UK and Horticultural Therapy is a proven way of helping people benefit from engaging with the garden.  We adapt activities to provide sensory stimulation, exercise, promote a sense of purpose and achievement.  Our activities range from growing flowers, fruit and vegetables to garden crafts and games.
