Gardens of the Senses – experience nature

A walk through a beautiful garden is a great way to relax. Especially when you can enjoy it with all your senses. Imagine a garden in which all your senses are stimulated more intensely than usual. This is the task of sensory gardens, also known as the Gardens of the Senses.

The idea of sensory gardens was born at the beginning of the twentieth century. They are used for therapeutic, educational and socialization reasons. They help people with visual or auditory imparities, as well as with disabilities and psychological and physical diseases. The Garden of the Senses can be divided into areas: taste, touch, smell, hearing, vision and sounds. Though the idea has been focused on people with disabilities since the beginning, gardens are open to all. Active use of their benefits brings many advantages, especially for children who intensively develop their cognitive abilities and physical fitness. Adults primarily notice their positive impact on health and well-being. Contact with nature and the activation of all the senses promotes relaxation, reduces stress level, thus increasing concentration and the sense of well-being.
