Episode description

In this week's podcast episode, host Dawn Platt had the opportunity to speak with Eldergrow CEO Orla Concannon. Eldergrow focuses on bringing nature indoors to senior living communities using therapeutic horticulture designed to fit spaces as small as a desk. They discuss how the program provides many benefits for those with dementia such as sensory stimulation, enhancing motor skills and promoting memory recall. Additionally, the conversation emphasizes the positive impact of Eldergrow's approach on the well-being of seniors in these communities, highlighting the broader benefits of gardening beyond its therapeutic aspects.
