Sensory Garden Path

A sensory garden path supports children with sensory processing disorders by stimulating a range of neurological responses.

The experience will be a blend of familiar and new experiences and the relationship between perception and performance means these experiences can have a significant impact.

A sensory garden path allows for cognitive function to grow in a safe and peaceful environment.

Fill the wooden frame with your choice of fillings, some ideas include: Chamomile or thyme These release a scent as you walk and feel amazing under bare feet.
You can buy chamomile plants or grow them from seed, but you may find buying thyme plants easier – be sure to buy a creeping or ground cover variety.

Pebbles Choose to leave them loose and lively or cement them in.
If you have space, you can have both to provide contrast.
Wood Choose log roll, sleepers or responsibly sourced tree branches.

Bed them into sand for extra stability.
Sand Fine sand can offer a unique addition to your sensory path as your child’s feet sink in and it surrounds their toes!

Any added extras If you have enough space, you can bring in other elements to work with your sensory garden path.

Carefully chosen plants such as lavender stimulate both scent and touch, while including chimes or water will add a calming sound.
