Creating a Therapeutic Sensory Garden

Sensory gardens provide restorative spaces through engaging textures, colors, & scents. Prioritize calming elements like soft grasses, muted color palettes (blues, greens, silvers), & fragrant herbs (lavender, chamomile). Integrate water features for soothing sounds and tactile engagement. Consider raised beds for accessibility. Include smooth stones and textured pathways. Example: The Sensory Garden at Denver Botanic Gardens utilizes varied textures and fragrant plants to reduce anxiety. Ensure pathways are wide and uncluttered.
