The Red Shed Project Garden
Our garden is fully accessible with flat paths making it easy to get around, raised beds that are easy to work at and lots of sensory planting and a dementia friendly design that means it’s impossible to get lost
The Red Shed garden
Fully accessible and dementia friendly
Tools and equipment
Lots of colours means everything is easy to find and stimulates the senses
Raised beds
A variety of heights make gardening easy for everyone.
Table top gardening
We can work sitting down and do lots of valuable tasks such as taking cuttings and sowing seeds.
Enjoying the space
It's not all about 'doing' and sometimes a walk around the garden to connect with what's 'growing' on is just what we need!
All inclusive
There's lots of support so everyone can get involved.
Our Garden Clubs
We have regular weekly Garden Clubs running through out the year. The Clubs are for people living with dementia and their carers and include a Young Onset Dementia club for those who have been diagnosed before they reach 65years old. The Clubs are a great place to meet with people and get gardening. We make sure everyone is involved in creating and maintaining our wonderful space to be enjoyed by us all.
We grow lovely veg!
All our vegetables get taken home and enjoyed by our gardeners.
