The community garden aims to give the Filipino, Tamil and Samoan Communities a space to create awareness on dementia.
Highlights
- It is important for people living with dementia to remain active and avoid social isolation
- It is important for them to have a safe space to express their feelings and concerns with no judgement and discrimination
- The garden is divided into two, with vegetables while succulents and flowers can be found in the other side
"The concept isn't focused on planting or gardening but to create a space where people can reminisce. Familiar plants such as sampaguita or jasmin that can help recreate or bring back happy memories," says Norminda Forteza from Australia Filipino Community Services (AFCS).
