Created by one of our Garden Design Diploma graduates, the Garden of Tranquillity will be a safe, peaceful and sensory greenspace for people with dementia. The Garden will:

• Support local people with dementia so that they feel included and can safely experience the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors.
• Inspire visitors with ideas to make their own gardens more dementia-friendly and emphasise how horticulture can promote good health and wellbeing.
• Educate people about the prevalence of dementia and highlight Edinburgh as a world-leader in dementia research.

The Garden of Tranquillity will open at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 2020.
