At Leigh Place, we take pride in creating a warm, home-like environment where residents feel a true sense of belonging. With our beautifully designed residential street-style setting adjacent to Bennett Park, our home offers the perfect space for residents to enjoy the simple pleasures of nature.
One of the ways we enhance this sense of home is through our gardening program – an activity that allows residents to connect with the outdoors, nurture plants, and enjoy the vibrant community atmosphere of our shared green spaces.
Just like a traditional neighbourhood, our gardens are central to daily life at Leigh Place. Our gardens do more than just beautify our home, they provide tangible benefits for residents’ health and well-being:
- Encouraging Gentle Activity – Planting, watering, and tending to plants support mobility and strength while promoting independence.
- Supporting Emotional Well-being – Spending time outdoors reduces stress and anxiety, offering a sense of peace and relaxation.
- Stimulating Memory and Cognition – Gardening engages the senses, evoking memories and sparking conversations.
- Strengthening Social Bonds – Our gardens bring residents, families, and staff together.
