For people living with dementia, everyday experiences can feel disorienting. Yet one simple, natural remedy consistently brings calm, comfort, and joy: time with nature.
Research shows that interaction with nature—whether it’s the scent of rosemary, the texture of soil, or the act of watering a plant—can reduce agitation, spark memories, and lift mood. Even brief moments in the garden can support better sleep, appetite, and emotional wellbeing.
🌿 Nature, Made Easy
Despite its benefits, traditional gardening isn’t always accessible for aged care residents. That’s where our wheelchair-accessible planter boxes make a difference. We have partnered with Australia's premium planter box supplier to bring you the nature solution you have been looking for.
🍀Designed specifically for aged care environments, our planter boxes:
🍀Sit at the right height for wheelchairs or seated use
🍀Feature self-watering wicking systems for low maintenance
🍀Create beautiful, meaningful spaces with minimal effort
Whether it’s a small herb garden or a larger sensory planting space, our planter boxes help residents reconnect with routine, memory, and nature—while giving carers an easy-to-implement wellbeing activity.
🌼 A Simple Way to Enhance Care
Gardening doesn’t have to be complex. One planter box can bring colour, joy, and calm to your courtyard or balcony. We can even help you explore grant or community funding options to make it happen.
