Contribution:
Graham & CommuniTea

Graham created CommuniTea, a therapeutic herbal tea garden designed for nursing home residents. The garden provides a hands-on activity that encourages movement, participation, and opportunities for connection when family, friends, and community members visit. To complement the garden, Graham also developed a step-by-step recipe book that teaches residents how to make different teas and highlights the benefits of each herb, offering natural conversation starters.

Partnering with HighlandSpring nursing home, Graham has seen the joy and excitement the project brings to residents and staff, and hopes to expand by hosting “CommuniTea Parties” to further strengthen ties between the home and the wider community. Through this experience, Graham shared he learned the importance of trying new things, building intergenerational connections, and creating spaces where community and care can grow together.
