Garden of the Five Senses

About the Garden

The Garden of the 5 Senses was developed to provide a welcoming, accessible environment where visitors can experience plants through sight, scent, taste, touch, and hearing. Using herbs and native plants, the garden creates a sensory experience that supports relaxation, curiosity, and connection with the natural world.

Each area of the Garden of the 5 Senses highlights a different way visitors can experience plants and the surrounding landscape.
