A sensory garden is a specially designed outdoor space that engages the senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. It features a variety of plants, textures, scents, and sounds to create a multi-sensory experience that promotes relaxation and well-being.
Sensory gardens are beneficial for people of all ages and abilities. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with sensory processing disorders, cognitive impairments, or those seeking a therapeutic and immersive outdoor experience.
Sensory gardens typically include aromatic plants, tactile textures, soothing sounds, visual delights, and edible plants. These features stimulate the senses and provide a range of therapeutic benefits, including stress reduction, mindfulness, and sensory stimulation.
