Learning through direct experience

The sensory garden represents a more experiential form of environmental education, helping people connect with place through texture, movement, sound, and observation.

Section 2

Why this matters

Accessible, multisensory learning environments can deepen connection and expand who feels included in stewardship conversations.

  • Create welcoming entry points into environmental learning.
