A vocational training centre is designing an adapted horticulture and gardening programme for adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Cognitive profiling of the participants reveals that their semantic memory remains highly functional (e.g., they can easily define botanical terms, identify plant species by their leaves, and recall general soil science facts). However, they have severe deficits in episodic memory (e.g., they cannot remember if they watered a specific plant earlier that morning, where they left their tools, or who they partnered with in the previous session).
Describe how the instructors at the centre could use this information to design effective daily routines and learning support for these participants during the gardening sessions.
