“I know I am safe here” were words entrusted to me by a lady, proud to be in her nineties, living with dementia. Together we created paper daisies, her favourite flowers, as part of a participatory arts workshop I was facilitating. At the outset she had said she was “very frightened” but while making daisies she was able to feel safe. The floral theme had helped her to manage her fears and enjoy her treasured memories of nature.
