It was agreed to create sensory gardens, that are garden environments designed with the purpose of stimulating the senses. This stimulation occurs courtesy of plants and the use of materials that engage one's senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound.

 

The organization in  Bragança and Sfântu Gheorghe had some field around their centers that was transformed into a beautiful garden with flowers, plants, aromatic/medicinal plants and wooden furniture, original pieces of art and dedicated places for cognitive stimulation.

​

In Bremen, the yard of the Wichernhaus center was turned in a sensory garden with flowers, the creation of small statues and wooden installations capable of producing sounds with the wind; the group of learners also experienced the opportunities offered by natural colours made from plant and flowers for fabric.

​

In Italy, it was decided to create a sensory garden for the children of the local kindergarten of the district where the organization is located: aromatic plants, succulents, flowers, coloured decorations for the trees, windchimes, a sensory walking path were planted, created and installed; the learners also prepared a sensory activity to propose to the children and some nature related songs. 

​

The learners participated to the creation of the sensory gardens with the guidance of a professional.
