Sensory Garden

The Sensory Garden is the newest garden at the Bartlett, located next to the Silver Educational Center. It is devoted to plants that stimulate the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Each raised bed in the garden has a different group of plants. For instance, the smell bed has scented plants like lavender, roses, scented geraniums, and lilies. The hearing bed has grasses and bamboo that make noise when the wind blows. The taste bed has ripe sugar snap peas, beans, oregano, basil, and cherry tomatoes.

The Garden is accessible to all with ADA-approved measurements for wheelchairs and walkers, two new handicapped parking spaces, benches, and braille signage. It provides programming for those with disabilities, autism, and those in need of a calm, but stimulating experience in the garden.
