Sensory Garden

What is a Sensory Garden?

Have you ever heard the term “sensory garden”?

A sensory garden is an outdoor garden that creates a special sensory experience. Sensory gardens often consider the 8 different senses.

People of any age who experience sensory sensitivity enjoy experiences that are calming. And people, in general, often enjoy sensory gardens for their relaxing effect.

A sensory garden is a wonderful experience for people of all ages. If you have a child with a sensory processing disorder, sensory sensitivities, or autism, it may be hard to find experiences that are sensory-friendly.

Many adults also find environments too busy, noisy and bright. This can lead to sensory overload and feeling anxious or stressed.

Therefore, it is helpful to find activities and environments that your whole family can be comfortable in!
