New Sensory Garden
A Sensory Garden is devoted to plants that emphasize the five senses: plants for sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Each raised bed in the garden has a different group of plants. For instance, the SMELL bed has scented plants like lavender, roses, scented geraniums, and lilies. The HEARING bed has a fountain and grasses and bamboos that make noise when the wind blows. The TASTE bed has ripe sugar snap peas, beans, oregano, basil, cherry tomatoes-Yes! Please taste!
The Garden is accessible to all with ADA approved measurements for wheelchairs and walkers, two new handicapped parking spaces, benches, and braille signage.
