✦ Synopsis

and names of plants; visuospatial skills for the layout of borders, arrangements; praxis, for the handling of plants and garden implements; and executive function, interest in the subject and ability to plan ahead. Any or all of these may be affected in dementia syndromes, and differential deficits may differentially affect abilities to garden (see, for example, the patient with semantic dementia). Hence, if gardening is contemplated as a component of occupational therapy for dementia patients, an individual approach tailored to cognitive abilities and deficits may be required.
