Garden Facilities FAQs

Providing residents with an outside space that allows them to get some fresh air, engage in outdoor activities, and be close to nature is important for overall well-being. The outdoors has many mental and physical benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing overall mood, supporting cognitive function, as well as cardiovascular health, balance, and muscle strength.

Outdoor activities include physical exercise, gardening, lawn games and afternoon tea. Residents can dine with family and friends and enjoy live entertainment in the garden during the warmer months.

In order to make our gardens accessible to all residents we have included wheelchair-accessible paths and seated furniture. Our private garden is also a safe and secure area with proper fencing and gates, to prevent residents from going beyond the garden.
