Greenfingers at Grantham Hospital

February 29, 2024 by Grantham Matters Leave a Comment

Hannah Brown Occupational Therapist, Lynne Cook Occupational Therapy Assistant, Nic McMullen-Klein and Occupational Therapist Theresia Atherton. Green fingered stroke patients at Grantham and District Hospital are making use of a newly refurbished garden as part of their rehabilitation therapy by planting seeds and selling pepper and tomato plants in 2014.
A rundown greenhouse and garden has been transformed by the facilities team at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust and kitted out with equipment donated by local organisations. The therapy garden project has enabled rehabilitation to take place in a natural environment offering all the health benefits of the outdoors whilst still focussing on the patient’s individual goals.
There were also plans in place to involve dementia patients as the project becomes more established as research shows that gardening is an excellent way to stimulate positive memories.
