It’s #TerrificTuesday, let’s read about this TREErific tree 🌳
The Oakland Button memory tree project evolved from the thoughts of service-users during a reminiscence activity about childhood memories. People talked about playing with their Grannies/Mothers button box which resulted in the idea of bringing in old buttons to look through. This in turn evoked many fond memories of old times spent with families.
We then thought about sewing them onto a large piece of material to make a pattern or picture – this evolved into the idea of making an Oak tree which would represent our building Oakland.
What started as a simple reminiscence activity has evolved into a long term therapeutic project which has involved all the service-users, staff members and students over a 2 year period.
Service –users and staff have brought in their own buttons which have a very personal and meaningful memory to them. For example a service-user brought in a button from her best coat which she wore in the 1950‘s. Another service-user brought in a button from his uniform when he was in the police force in 1953.
Whilst some service-users have been involved in personally sewing their chosen button on the tree, some have chosen a button and had it stitched on for them. Others have simply enjoyed the therapeutic nature of sifting through the mixture of old and new buttons, eliciting sensory, calming and soothing feelings. As one service-user explained “Every button has a story to tell”. #Dundee #DundeeIsNow #InstayGram #Tree
