Sensory Gardens can be simultaneously stimulating and relaxing.
They can be small, as in a courtyard or patio garden, or larger as in a landscape or borrowed landscape garden….they can be places of healing, socializing or reflection.
We design them into the environments we create, engaging the senses…. seeing, smelling, hearing, touching and tasting….bringing back birds and other wildlife, obscuring unwanted noise and enabling building occupants to avail themselves of the considerable health benefits of dynamic sunlight
Vertical Gardens or Living Walls are a way to green building facades (as phonic or thermic isolation systems) or to bring the air purifying, ionizing and visually restorative benefits of living plants into the indoor environment.
