| sensagarden “A sensory garden cannot be one size fits all, it should be unique, tailored to the people who will use it '' | |
| What is a sensory garden? Well that depends on ALL the people who will use it. A well designed garden is a universally inclusive and interactive space that can be enjoyed by everyone. It can be a journey of discovery among colours, scents, textures and taste. It can calm or excite, provoke interest in nature or simply be an escape from a busy world. It can be a mystery tour or a secure form of shelter. It is a place where individuals can mix and take personal enjoyment side by side. “The key to successful design and ultimately to a well used garden, is to listen closely to the client from the beginning and then act upon what they say”. |
