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 absolutely love this website and get most of my daily activities from it. Love the monthly diary too. It has so much to offer for different stages of dementia residents. I love the artwork, games, and quizzes which we use every day. People are constantly asking where do I get my ideas. Thank you so much!
