At Belong Macclesfield, we recognise the importance of access to fresh air and nature and the village features a dementia-friendly sensory garden, including raised beds and displays designed to promote reminiscence.
Our ground floor households open directly onto the garden, while households on the upper floors feature spacious balconies overlooking the garden. This arrangement means the garden is a lovely focal point in the summer, with garden entertainers able to be enjoyed throughout the village.
We work with Grow Macclesfield who provide expertise and time to run gardening activities with our village community, from planting raised beds to wreath making.
Volunteers, including local businesses such as facilities management specialists, Sodexo, also support our gardening activities, from weeding to planting and painting fences to constructing bird boxes and feeders.
