Whether it is the feel of soil between the fingers or the gentle rhythm of watering plants, gardening provides a deeply therapeutic experience. This simple timeless activity has had a profound impact on the assisted living and memory care residents of Bickford of Aurora. For many, gardening is more than just a hobby. It is a pathway to improving well-being, reducing anxiety and so much more. Gardening stimulates the senses, with the vibrant colors that flowers bring, the earthy scent of the soil, the soft feel of the breeze upon our skin, the sweet melodies sang by the birds and the delicious taste of vegetables and herbs growing in our courtyard. For many of us gardening can be a grounding experience that helps us reconnect with our environment and even ourselves. Happy gardening all!
