Gardening projects for People with Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer Gardening

» biogardener - Alzheimer Gardening

It depends on how long the person has been gardening. My mother gardened all her life, and she continued to do so very capably even though she was no longer able to cook or clean. She also continued to do very fine sewing by hand for me, if I got everything ready for her. She had been a seamstress, so that was an old skill to her.

Skills which are more recently acquired are easily forgotten by Alzheimer people, but the skills acquired in childhood remain.
