Matylda Our resident love potting plants that already have a bit of colour. We have extended this activity into decorating pots or we have a choice of coloured pots to choose from. We repot small pots of coloured seedlings into bigger pots. Gloves are good because some residents worry about dirt on their hands. Most were keen gardeners so they tend to advise us on what to do. They also like to take their potted plants with them so watering of plants without mess was a bit of an issue. Good luck we all enjoy this activity
I have been using your site constantly over the last few weeks as I was allocated a client with young on-set dementia. Your strategies, games and ideas have been brilliant. Thanks again!
