Bunnings Marion is bringing us presents! Presents in the way of plants! (The best kind of present!)

These plants will help to establish our sensory garden. We hope this part of the garden will allow visitors to enjoy a wide variety of sensory experiences. Sensory gardens are designed to provide opportunities to stimulate the senses, both individually and in combination, in ways that users may not usually encounter.

“Sensory gardens also have proven therapeutic value. For example, people with disabilities (such as visual impairment or dementia) can enjoy nature in a safe and tactile environment. Sensory gardens can also make a great contribution to emotional and physical health. They can be beautiful places to relax, reflect, meditate, contemplate and talk.” (VicHealth, 2018)

This event is child-friendly and we encourage you to come and learn about more benefits of sensory gardens.
