- Engaging in some light gardening activity not only benefits flexibility, balance and strength, but it can also relieve stress. Importantly, it is also enhances feelings of social inclusion, which are very important for the older person.
- Having easy access to a green space or garden encourages older people to go outdoors and this motivates them to be physically and socially active, which can help to offset illness and isolation.
My current favourites:

| Queen of the Night |
 |
| Hibiscus bigger than my palm |
 |
| I actually picked up a half-dead hibiscus stump from the roadside about 10 months ago and nurtured it until it bloomed into this beauty |
 |
| My favourite the Brazilian Snapdragon |
 |
| I love the costus because the birds like the nectar and visit often |
