High five

There's no denying that a garden is a feast for the eyes. But it can offer a much richer experience when it taps into all the five senses. So think about weaving in plants that are pleasingly tactile, that whisper in the breeze, or taste and smell divine. Not only will these extra sensory elements make a garden more pleasurable, they can also make it more engaging and accessible for children and people with sensory impairments.
