Sensory Garden to be developed for elderly, visually impaired residents
Fundraising has started at Braeside House for the development of a new sensory garden.
The fundraising target is £60,000 and the development will include many distinctive features that touch the senses such as:
- Raised flowerbeds with distinctive differences to stimulate the senses of smell and touch
- various textured surfaces;
- wind chimes and musical instruments to stimulate the sense of hearing.
If you would like to find out more about the new sensory garden or would like to donate please get in touch with Helen Forrest on 0131 229 1456.
