Not Just Another Garden.

Designed to create new memories, as well as bring back fond memories from the past, the garden is a beautiful place for anyone to visit, but for those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, there are many very special features.

• The entry to the garden provides a slightly raised overlook area that allows visitors to preview the layout of the entire garden before entering.
Once inside the pathways are smooth and form loops without confusing dead-ends.
• The covered entry structure and arbor provide landmarks.
• There are many places to just sit and enjoy the garden. Benches are provided in a circle around a central stone planter, and along the outside of the main pathway, providing many different views.
• Plantings evoke childhood memories. Many plant varieties common in older gardens are featured to spark pleasant memories of the past.
• The rich botanical collection provides four seasons of sensory stimulation, including plants that are interesting to look at, touch and smell.
