Drawing from Pippa’s own experiences with autism and dyslexia, as well as parenting a neurodivergent teenager, the design challenges the negative labels often placed on individuals who often struggle in environments that don’t support their cognitive needs. The studio retreat features five sensory zones – focusing on smell, touch, taste, sight and regulation – allowing visitors to experience first-hand how plants can create a more calming and supportive space. Key plants: lavender, lamb’s ear, chocolate mint, fountain grass, boston fern Award Recognition ------------- - ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/awards/silver-medal/icon.webp) Silver Medal RHS The people behind it Designer ---------- - [ ![Pippa Jameson](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/people/pippa-jameson/profile_photo.webp) Pippa Jameson Designer The Sensory Home ](https://gardensdb.com/people/pippa-jameson) Photography Gallery --------- ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/9b7879ba-4764-4e71-8d9a-21d63d20d12f/conversions/1-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/7e412a18-7d3f-4d61-a534-c332983c2dcd/conversions/2-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/33577427-59f2-4642-b966-3ca656f5e6c9/conversions/3-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/abdebc69-b5b1-481f-bb81-c0e66c5d1b38/conversions/1-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/ef7d7925-45d8-4337-b00c-dc0e321fa0db/conversions/2-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/ce1e094b-1b30-4dd8-8a56-4d467cacf244/conversions/4-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/f5369b91-58eb-492e-a09e-71ceae514715/conversions/3-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/7fdbdd24-f15c-471e-aa15-58c6048c58ae/conversions/5-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/237d5d5c-3667-4fb3-b296-f2c35caff150/conversions/render-gallery.webp) ![](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/media/8721628e-ead1-443a-8d97-ce666b437a32/conversions/1000023576-gallery.webp) ![]() / Photo: Brought to life by Organisations --------------- ### Design Studios 2 - [ ![The Sensory Home](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/companies/the-sensory-home/logo.webp) The Sensory Home ](https://gardensdb.com/organisations/the-sensory-home) - [ ![Beards & Daisies](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/companies/beards-daisies/logo.webp) Beards & Daisies ](https://gardensdb.com/organisations/beards-daisies) ### Sponsor 1 - [ ![Graham & Brown](https://cdn.gardensdb.com/companies/graham-brown/logo.webp) Graham & Brown ](https://gardensdb.com/organisations/graham-brown) ![](/images/leaf_icon.svg) Gardens**DB** The world's largest collection of show gardens online, kept free, kept current, and shaped by the community that uses it.
