Sensory Garden Project – Elvaston Country Park
The Village Plan Committee of Elvaston, Thulston, Ambaston and Boulton Moor has been working with the Elvaston Park Manager to identify an area within the park which could be transformed to make a sensory garden. The area is within the Old English walled garden – the area which currently is used for the growing of herbs.
The area is in need of some attention. The flagstones are very uneven and need relaying; the ramps to enable access for wheelchairs are too steep; the pathways and beds are overgrown. This work must be done before we can even think about planting. Many new plants will be provided by the Park’s gardening team who are keen to be part of the project.
We would be very interested to hear your ideas for this development as we would hope that people with sight impairments would find the completed sensory garden a stimulating place to visit.
