Ground-breaking Ceremony for New Sensory Garden

Stamford, CT – The Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens will officially begin construction for its new Sensory Garden with a ground-breaking ceremony on October 31 at 12:00pm. The City of Stamford’s Mayor, David Martin, will be in attendance along with his chief of staff, Michael Pollard.

This new Sensory Garden is unique from traditional gardens, as it is designed specifically to stimulate the Five Senses: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Touching and Tasting. The Garden will provide each guest with an interactive journey through the senses, by having plants and materials of different textures, colors, scents, sounds and heights. The Bartlett’s design plans go even further to permit wheelchair access and other accessibility concerns. 

By creating a garden that is barrier-free for visitors, the Bartlett will be able to provide an oasis for all ages, abilities, and needs to enjoy nature.

Funding for the Sensory Garden is still being accepted. Please visit www.bartlettarboretum.org/give to give.
