The Sensory Garden has been built to stimulate all the different senses of the visitor, there are plants that smell, plants that rustle, plants that taste, plants that are bright colours and plants that are textured.

We have tried to make the sensory garden so that it is as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, we have tried to make it an inclusive area so there is plenty of space for wheelchairs, pushchairs and little children to explore safely.

We have tried to make the area as interactive as we can by including such things as a solar powered water feature that you can start and stop by standing in front of the solar panel. There are three large benches in the garden that all have patterns cut into the seats and backs, these illustrate different leaves on one, different animal tracks on another and different sized handprints on the third, so watch where you sit! The centre of the sensory garden has a large raised bed, this is planted with a collection of scented and textured plants, the central space inside the bed has a mosaic on the floor, a animal logo, can you guess what it might be?
