After the event

Huntington’s disease is an inherited neuro-degenerative disease that causes disorders of movement, balance, behaviour and cognition. A garden was replanted under the guidance of a horticulturist using a suitable ergonomic method of gardening.

Residents have grown flowers and vegetables and, in the Winter, done garden related crafts, cooking and computer activities. The results of the research on this project were presented.
