Reduce stress, restore balance, & improve attention at home
Sensory gardens target the five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch, and
taste. These gardens add an element of style, while promoting a
sensation of peace and tranquillity in your home.
TARGET YOUR SENSES
Sight: Choose contrasting colors
Smell: Pick aeromatic flowers
Sound: Invest in a tabletop water fountain or create a playlist
Touch: Choose plants with varying textures or add stones to pots to invite
touch
Taste: Grow herbs that you can enjoy
The following are just a few examples of plants that'll thrive potted
outdoors or indoors on a windowsill with lots of sun.
