Jessica Colourful plants which change through the seasons are a delight. Watch the changing colour of the leaves and berries. Most flowers are very colourful during the summer, whilst many trees will blossom in spring before their leaves turn to shades of gold, brown and red in the autumn. The changes in colour and appearance of wet and dry Paved pathways also add colour.
Shapes are also important in a sensory garden, materials like crazy paving and rough cut flags. The distinctive shape of oak and sycamore trees, flowers such as the daisy and poppy, varied fruits of fruit trees. Movement catches the eye to, so maybe add trees such as willow. A fountain or waterfall will add movement and attract birds rustling feathers as they bath in your sensory garden.
There will be plenty of sounds to listen to, such as the natural sound of wind in the trees or wildlife sounds. A shallow stream flowing over pebbles or a waterfall, even wind chimes.
