|||
A '''sensory garden''' is a [[garden]] or other plot specifically created to be accessible and enjoyable to visitors, both [[disabled]] and non-disabled. The purpose of such a provision is to provide individual and combined sensory opportunities for the user such that they may not normally experience. |
|||
A sensory garden, for example, may contain features accessible to the disabled individual such as: scented and edible plants, sculptures and sculpted handrails, water features designed to make sound and play over the hands, textured touch-pads, magnifying-glass screens, braille and audio [[induction loop]] descriptions. Depending on the user group, other provisions may integrate sound and music more centrally to combine the play needs of younger users with their sensory needs. |
|||
Many sensory gardens devote themselves to providing experience for multiple senses; those specialising in scent are sometimes called [[scented gardens]], those specialising in music/sound are sound gardens where the equipment doubles up to provides an enhanced opportunity for strategic developmental, learning and educational outcomes. |
|||
Sensory Gardens usually have an enhanced infrastructure to permit [[wheelchair access]] and meet other accessibility concerns; the design and layout provides a stimulating journey through the senses, heightening awareness, and bringing positive learning experiences. |
