Kingfisher School Sensory Garden - Plants Needed
The Kingfisher School Sensory Garden – created and supported by TrinityLearning – is in need of new plants to give it a refresh – Can you help out by donating any spare plants?
Since this is a sensory garden we needs plants with colour/scent/texture and since they will be touched – and maybe eaten - they must not be toxic – so NOT on the RHS Plant exclusion list see https://www.rhs.org.uk/prevention-protection/potentially harmful-garden-plants
Herbs are obviously ideal – we could do with a range of thymes, for instance. Perennials preferred to annuals. Drought resistant plants would be good since the garden is in a sunny, dry spot
Plants can be left in the Trinity Church office after 1st July.
