Mark’s story - Finding independence, one plant at a time

After moving between several Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) properties over the years, Mark has found a place he can call his “forever home” – a Vera Living SDA villa in Perth.

One of Mark’s biggest passions is gardening. He loves spending time tending to his plants and finding his next “plant baby”. For Mark, gardening is more than a hobby. It’s a chance to get creative, unwind and, in his words, “get lost in thought and feel present in the moment”.

His villa also features solar power, helping reduce energy costs and emissions. For Mark, the savings mean more money to put towards the things he loves, including his ever-growing collection of plants!

“This SDA villa has given me more independence but has also allowed me to participate in my hobbies that I love, like gardening.”
