Hello...
My name is Jack and I am the founder of Dig for Dementia. I have been a registered nurse for 15 years. I am passionate about dementia care following my time working as a nurse in the community in Wiltshire. I am a firm believer that everyones lives are enriched by spending time in nature and green space. This is something that research has proven, particularly for people with dementia.
I am a keen gardener myself having begun my journey in 2020 when my husband and I moved into our house. There was lots to do and my love for Roses bloomed. I am currently undertaking my certificate in Green Dementia Care with The Therapeutic Forest.
Now I want to combine my two passions, providing enrichment activity for people with dementia and gardening. I am doing this alongside my current job as a university lecturer in adult nursing.
Like many families mine has also been touched by dementia. My grandma had advanced mixed dementia for over 10 years and lived in a wonderful care home. You can see us enjoying some time together in the garden.
