Boy in Zimmerman Sensory Garden Designed to engage all the senses, this unique garden offers an immersive sensory experience for both the young and young-at-heart. Smell the heavenly scented flowers and fragrant herbs, feel the fun textures, hear the trickle of the Shell Fountain, and the ring of the Soleri Bell Tree. Peak months are May through October.

The sensory plants in this garden are harvested and used in the community for therapeutic horticulture programming. The Therapeutic Horticulture team brings nature to those who are unable to come to the Garden and who are going through a challenging time. Healthcare and senior living communities, as well as other community support agencies benefit from the rich engagement that comes from nature and plants. The goal is to improve one's wellbeing through connecting to nature.
