Accessible and Inviting Outdoor Spaces

Our private gardens at St Margarets are designed with ease of access as a priority. Whether you use a wheelchair, a walking aid, or enjoy walking independently, you can move comfortably through our gardens because of the wide, level pathways. Raised flower beds are available for those who enjoy gardening, enabling them to nurture plants and engage with nature without strain.

Our gardens also feature sheltered seating and quiet corners, so residents can choose a sunny spot or a shaded retreat according to their preference. Throughout the warmer months, the gardens become a vibrant social hub and we regularly host outdoor activities and events, all set against a beautiful backdrop.

Promoting Well-Being Through Nature

Spending time outdoors has proven benefits for physical health, mood and mental clarity. At St Margarets, we encourage residents to make full use of the gardens as part of their daily routine, providing safe opportunities to enjoy the rhythms of nature. Regular gardening sessions, outdoor exercise classes and gentle strolls help to support mobility and offer therapeutic engagement.

Families and friends are warmly welcomed to join residents in the gardens, as they make visits even more special. The garden setting offers a refreshing space for meaningful conversations, quiet reflection, or lively social gatherings, all contributing to a rich and balanced lifestyle.
