Private Gardens

At Harrier Grange, we are fortunate enough to boast three large outdoor areas, offering our residents ample space to stretch their legs, get some fresh air and take in the natural beauty of our gardens. All areas are wheelchair accessible, so you can get outside and enjoy the fresh air no matter your care needs.

Whether our residents want to enjoy some time to themselves outside, or whether they want to invite their loved ones for an alfresco meal, our fully secure gardens are the ideal spot for those who love the outdoors.

Activities in the Garden

When the weather allows, we try to take as many of our activities in the garden so our residents can have a change of scenery and see the various wildlife that visits us. We also plan many of our activities around the gardens themselves, with activities taking place such as planting flowers and vegetables and watering the plants. For those who have limited mobility, we have raised planters or hanging baskets that can be taken down for planting. It is highly encouraged that all of our residents take part in gardening activities as they have great health and social benefits, as well as offering residents a sense of ownership and responsibility.

For our residents living with dementia or cognitive impairment, we have a sensory garden on our top floor garden featuring a water feature, wind chimes, fresh herbs and strong-smelling flowers. We have a local garden centre that we regularly visit with residents so they can choose their favourite blooms to plant across our gardens.

Summers at Harrier Grange

Summers at Harrier Grange are much loved by residents and staff alike, as we aim to make the most of the lovely weather whenever we can. Sunny days can see us hosting BBQs, entertainment outdoors, as well as our much-anticipated annual Summer Fete. These are great opportunities for our residents to bond, and we often invite loved ones to join in with the fun too.

There are regular rest areas around our garden as well as multiple shaded and covered areas to ensure enjoyment all year round. Some garden activities you could expect to take part in include bowls, ten-pin bowling, quizzes, puzzles and crafts. No matter what your purpose is for using our gardens, we will have something here for everybody.

Private Gardens FAQs

Enabling our residents to spend time in the garden ensures they can breathe in fresh air, participate in outdoor activities, and appreciate nature. This facilitates numerous mental and physical benefits, such as stress reduction, improved mood, better cognitive functioning, enhanced cardiovascular health, and increased muscle strength and balance.

Within the garden, residents can participate in a variety of outdoor activities, including strolls, gardening, exercise classes, and, weather permitting, enjoy meals with family members, engage in outdoor arts and crafts, and watch live entertainment.

To ensure that all residents can utilise the garden area, we have implemented measures such as wheelchair-accessible paths, seating for those with mobility issues, secure fencing and gates, well-maintained paths, proper lighting, and other safety features to prevent accidents and prioritise the safety of our residents.
