Reminiscence Gardening

Welcome to Reminiscence Gardening, a program of the UCCE Master Gardener Association of San Diego County.

For more than 2 years, Master Gardener volunteers have provided tabletop gardening activities in memory care communities across San Diego County and at Alzheimer’s San Diego.

Many people know first hand the responsibility of caring for a family member or partner at home who is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Master Gardeners recognize the need for more everyday-type experiences for this underserved population.

Reminiscence Gardening provides step-by-step instructions for gardening activities that can be easily done at home, and are inclusive for all levels of dementia.

Here you will find activity plans that allow you to be as creative as you want be. You and your garden partner can have a fun, relaxing garden experience that allows you to recall memorable moments such as days spent shell-collecting at the beach, admiring the varied color, scent, and texture of plants in the garden, or maybe just quietly reminiscing with each other during a no-stress activity. The important thing is to enjoy your time together!

Maligayang pagdating sa Reminiscence Gardening, ang programa ng UCCE Master Gardener ng lalawigan ng San Diego.

Mahigit pa sa dalawang taon, ang mga boluntaryong Master Gardeners ay naglilingkod ng aktibidad na Tanim Pang-mesa para sa komunidad para sa mga taong nakalimot sa mga pamayanan ng San Diego at sa Alzheimers San Diego.

Maraming taong nakakaalam mismo ang responsibilidad ng pag-aalaga ng kapamilya o kabiyak na namumuhay na merong Alzheimer o iba pang uri ng dimensya. Kinikilala ng Master Gardeners ang pangangailangan ng pang araw-araw na karanasan sa mga kulang sa serbisyong pang publiko.

Ang Reminiscence Gardening ay nagbibigay ng sunod-sunod na tagubilin para sa aktibidad sa hardin na madaling gawin sa bahay at kasama sa iba-ibang antas ng dimensya.

Dito, mahahanap mo ang mga plano para sa mga aktibidad na malikhain. Ikaw at ang iyong kasama ay puwedeng makaranas ng kasiyahan, at nagbibigay ng kaginhawan upang maalala ang mga nakaraan na araw tulad ng pangunguha ng kabibe sa tabing dagat, maalala ang mga iba-ibang kulay , malanghap, at maramdaman ang mga halaman sa hardin o sa isang tahimik na pag-alaala sa isat-isa. Ang importante ay magkaraon ng oras ang bawat isa na maging masaya!
