The garden was created to provide a space for people with disorders such as anosmia or hyposmia, to explore, sit, talk and enjoy a garden in which the other senses – sight, sound and touch – are enhanced and given a platform. The garden is divided into two levels, with both levels generously planted. Multi-stemmed trees with tactile bark frame two corners of the garden. A curving path with steps leads the visitor down to a sunken area, for sitting while immersed among the planting. The generously planted herbaceous beds have a loose planting scheme. Plants are allowed to grow into each other and self seed as the garden matures. A water feature protruding from a wall provides a pleasant splashing sound. The harmonious colour palette varies subtly across the levels and features cool tones with accents of colour.
