Sensory Garden refresh

One of our projects this year is to rejuvenate the four Sensory Gardens: taste, touch, smell and look (to experience ‘listen’ simply stop, close your eyes and tune in to what you can hear). Over the last few of weeks, we have been working on salvaging plants from these garden beds, to be replanted after the clay soil has been replaced with compost and good quality soil. 

 

Any donations of unusual or interesting ‘touch’, ‘smell’ or ‘look’ plants would be appreciated. 😊
