THE SENSORY GARDEN

SENSORY GARDEN AT THE TOWN PARK

Planting has begun in the beds for the new sensory Garden at the entrance to the Town Park. The Radstock and Midsomer Norton Lions club conceived the idea for the garden and have sponsored all the plants. Planting so far includes conifers, chosen for their strong vertical shape, soft touch and scented foliage; grasses with rustling striped leaves to create sound and movement; lamb’s ear plants with soft leaves and a lush, jungly bedding plant called elephant’s ear.

More plants, including bamboos, herbs and local apple trees, will go in later this year. there will also be a tree planting ceremony to celebrate the generous donation from the Lions and their contribution to the Town Park.
