The ‘Moments in Time’ garden designed by Newtown Saunders Ltd, TrinityHaus and Sonas apc, included a range of dementia-friendly features including plants to trigger memories such as daisies, carnations and hydrangeas.
There are approximately 55,000 people living in Ireland with dementia and this number is expected to more than double by 2036.
The Dementia: Understand Together campaign is led by the HSE, in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Genio.
