Sensory Garden Bundle

Create a Garden That Awakens the Senses

Gardens are about so much more than what we see. The fragrance of lavender, the soft touch of velvety leaves, the gentle movement of grasses and the taste of freshly picked strawberries can all help create a richer, more engaging outdoor experience.

Our Sensory Garden Plant Bundle brings together seven carefully selected varieties designed to stimulate the senses while creating a beautiful, natural-looking garden.

From the aromatic foliage of thyme, sage and mint to the distinctive silver leaves of Stachys and the colourful flowers of lavender, every plant has been chosen for its sensory qualities and ability to complement the wider planting scheme.

Whether you’re creating a peaceful garden retreat, developing an interactive outdoor learning space or simply looking to introduce more fragrance and texture into your borders, our Sensory Garden Bundle makes it easy to create an inviting and engaging environment.
