Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has a sensory garden in their setting?
the play team on our ward have been informed of an opportunty to better utilise our playground and asked for any ideas on how we could do this as well and some amazing playing apparartus ect I suggested a sort of garden area maybe with some herbs and scented flowers something we could use during a sensory room expirence, the rep seemed really keen on this idea and said that he had not long started doing this for schools ect as a sort of multipsensory area where you can have groups of children doing activities or story time (like a mulitsensory story sack! lol) . He asked me to do some research into the idea and see what ideas I could come up with on doing this:reading: I have found mostly parks ect that have lots of scented flowers and bubbling ponds,brooks, gardens of remberence areas like the ones we already have at our hospital but I havn't so far found one catered specifically for children on a childrens unit. does anyone have any ideas? or know of a childrens hospitals,school ect that has a sensory garden?.
I would greatly appreaciate any input!
