Private Gardens

At Trinity House, our private gardens offer residents a peaceful and spacious place to relax in comfort. The enclosed outdoor areas are easy to access and thoughtfully designed with ramps and handrails so that everyone can enjoy them safely. They are renowned for their calm and tranquil feel, providing a quiet space where residents can sit and watch the world go by. They provide plenty of light and warmth throughout the day, but have parasols and pergolas to create shaded spots for those who prefer to stay cool.

Residents play an active role in shaping the garden’s look and feel. During our recent refurbishment, they helped choose the colour of the decorative stones and they continue to influence planting choices through the regular garden club. Residents often visit the local garden centre to select flowers and plants, fostering a sense of pride and ownership as they see their choices flourish.

The garden is accessible throughout the year and widely used across all seasons. Whether for a short stroll, a chat with neighbours, or time with family outdoors, it remains a cherished part of daily life.

Making The Most of Our Outside Space

When the weather is kind, outdoor living becomes part of the daily rhythm at Trinity House. Many activities are moved outside during the summer months, allowing residents to enjoy the fresh air and natural surroundings. Gardening continues to be a popular pastime, supported by the weekly garden club where residents plant, water and tend to the beds together. These shared experiences encourage both social connection and a sense of purpose.

Beyond our care home in Edinburgh, residents are within walking distance of beautiful green spaces, including a park just across the road and a nearby botanical garden. These local spots are perfect for short walking trips and are often built into our seasonal activity plans.

Events at Trinity House

Our garden provides the perfect backdrop for community gatherings and celebrations. Throughout the year, we host fetes, charity events and outdoor birthday parties that bring together residents, their loved ones and local visitors. On these days, the garden becomes a lively social space filled with laughter, conversation and music.

Each event is organised with input from both residents and staff, helping to keep traditions alive while introducing new ideas that everyone can enjoy. Whether for fundraising, entertainment, or simply enjoying each other’s company, these outdoor occasions highlight the warmth and togetherness that define life at Trinity House.

Private Gardens FAQs

We are strong advocates of offering our residents the opportunity to spend time outdoors regularly, allowing them to breathe in fresh air, partake in various outdoor activities, and relish the beauty of nature. We understand the positive impact this has on their overall well-being. Getting outdoors brings about a multitude of mental and physical advantages, including the reduction of stress and anxiety, an enhancement of mood, improved cardiovascular health, greater balance, and increased muscle strength.

We organise various outdoor activities, such as leisurely walks, gardening sessions and engaging lawn games. Whenever the weather is on our side, our residents have the opportunity to share meals with their loved ones outside, creating enjoyable and memorable moments together.

To ensure that our gardens are accessible and enjoyable for all, we’ve taken several measures. Wheelchair-accessible paths have been incorporated, making it easy for all residents to navigate and enjoy the outdoor spaces. Additionally, we’ve provided comfortable seating options for residents to relax outdoors. Safety is of utmost importance, so we’ve made our private garden area secure with fencing and gates, ensuring that residents stay within the garden boundaries.
