Sensory
Garden.
Experiences of body and sense for older people — where scent, texture, colour and sound become language again.
Awakening the senses
With age, the body tends to be treated only as what is missing — what hurts, what no longer moves. The Sensory Garden does the opposite: it offers the body things to feel. Herbs to smell, textures to touch, colours to look at slowly, sounds to listen to.
It is the bodily approach taken beyond the consulting room, into collective affection — in care homes, community centres and spaces of care.
To go deeper: the garden as therapy — the senses in old age.
The senses
More than five: beyond sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, the body senses its own balance. Each gathering invites you through a different door.
For whom
Designed especially for older people, including in situations of dementia or reduced mobility — but open to any body that needs to rediscover the simple pleasure of feeling.
