Perth’s Murray Royal Hospital has secured significant funding for a dementia-friendly garden project.
The mental health and dementia care facility has been awarded £115,000 from Tayside Health Fund, NHS Tayside’s Charity, and an additional £40,000 from Paths for All to rejuvenate the facility’s two garden areas.
The organisations will work with landscape architect Marion Preez of Urban Pioneers, who drafted the initial concept drawings of the garden, as well as the firm Better Company to design a space that integrates with nature while providing patients with space to walk and move more.
