Sensory Garden
Sensory gardens can be found in a multitude of industries such as schools, hospitals, community gardens and commercial premises. By using different elements like fragrance, planting, texture, colourful features, and enticing sounds we can create an immersive custom outdoor space with limitless opportunities to explore.
A sensory garden can be beneficial to both children and adults, particularly those who have sensory processing issues, including autism and other disabilities. Designed to engage the senses some gardens may be simply passive – attracting the user to relax and enjoy the space – whereas others can nurture the desire to explore, touch, feel and taste while interacting with the plants and objects.
Let us design a custom sensory garden for your space!
