Occupational Engagement
Doing is the obvious and tangible part of human occupation which forms the essential part of lives making it possible to meet their human needs (Watson & Swartz, 2004). Images 4,7,8,13,15 depict the doing of gardening.
Being is a sense of self that is based on beliefs and values including cultural and spiritual identity. Being influences doing and doing refines and changes being. (Watson & Swartz, 2004) An example of this is by gardening you become a gardener. I am being a student by doing study, if a pass my study I will continue to be a student. Image 3,5,6,10,11,12 show raised garden beds which enable gardeners to remain gardeners. Image 3 is from my fieldwork 2. It was an aged care facility which provided this raised garden for the residents use. It was very well taken care of by the residents.
Becoming is a journey that is influences by being and realized by doing. By the doing we are being and so we become (Watson & Swartz, 2004). Image 9,10,11,12 show a school garden. The school garden is gaining in popularity and the will put some students on a life long journey by doing gardening to becoming a gardener.
Belonging as described by Reberio, Day, Semeniuk, O'Brian, & Wilson (2001) as the necessary contribution of social interaction, mutual support and friendship, and the sense of being included to, to occupational performance and life satisfaction. Images 13,14,15 are of the local community garden that provides all the above. Image 21, 22 show the Botanical Gardens been used for occupations and there is a sense when you are in the Garden of belonging. This is connect to the fact that it is a public space with a long history in Dunedin.
