The Surprising Benefits of Gardening
Did you know that gardening is not only a fun pastime, but has been proven to improve mental and physical wellbeing, particularly among seniors? Research has shown that seniors who garden for two and a half hours per week have a decreased risk of obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression.
Tapestry at Victoria Harbour is a new seniors’ community that encourages gardening as a social activity that creates opportunities to share skills and cultivate friendships with like-minded neighbours. The residents have formed a Gardening Club to share their enthusiasm and passion for growing flowers and herbs on the community’s rooftop terrace. Some of the herbs are used at the in-house restaurant for everyone to enjoy, while others find their way into culinary creations crafted by residents in their own kitchens. The stunning rooftop terrace also serves as a space for residents to host a BBQ or simply sit back and enjoy the views – and the fruits of their labour.
Throughout the community there are unique amenity spaces offering a wide range of programs, fitness classes, events, educational opportunities and social clubs. A full calendar of events each month presents countless opportunities for residents to build friendships while staying physically and socially engaged each and every day.
The beautiful and spacious residences within Tapestry at Victoria Harbour allow residents to remain independent while enjoying the benefits of being part of a community. Each thoughtfully designed home includes a contemporary full kitchen and tranquil bathroom, with some also showcasing impressive views.
