SENSORY GARDEN FOR A HAMMERSMITH SCHOOL
|
This project involved the creation of a Sensory Garden for a School in Hammersmith, London. The project makes use of varying levels, a mixture
of materials and various different textures to stimulate the pupils. Glass blocks have been used in brick work for educational purposes. These allow
pupils to study the root structure of the plants in the soil behind. Various herbs such as Camomile have been planted in the walk ways to stimulate the pupils sense
of smell when they are walked over.
The Coloured bark and fabric sails were placed to stimulate the visual effect of the garden as well as being a talking point for alternative uses.

To compliment the patio and not create many disruptive views the side path needed to be repaved. |

The new Pergoda positioned nicely in the corner draws the eye across the revitalised
lawn. This also created the quiet area for contemplation and meditation. |

The curves draw the eye to the new planting and also gives the effect of lengthening the garden whilst the trellis and planting hides the pond filter. |
