New Sensory Garden enhances educational community at Slindon College
Outdoor learning environments boast an assortment of benefits for pupils' cognitive functions and overall mental wellbeing. At Slindon College, pupils and staff have worked to develop an inclusive and accessible space that allows for an integration of outdoor activities into lessons. The Sensory Garden has been cultivated from the College’s enclosed gardens. Its characteristic features are designed to engage all five senses with bright florals, established fruit trees, fragrant herbs, long textured grasses and wind chimes.
The space encourages pupils to learn by engaging their senses and promoting a deeper connection to nature. The garden also promotes the diversity of pollinators and wildlife, which in turn helps support conversations relating to eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives.
