S2 Ep1755: Sensed, Not Seen: Accessible Sensory Garden Experience


Listen Later

Rebecca Williams is an amateur gardener from Essex, who created a beautiful multisensory garden design which will be featured at the upcoming BBC Gardener’s World Live in Birmingham this June.

Sensed, Not Seen was inspired by Rebecca's father David, who started losing his sight in his 20s due to diabetic retinopathy. 

She spoke with RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew.

It continues along the edges before coming into a lovely green canopy of rustling trees at the end. At the centre a wooden barrel with bright purple and yellow flowers planted inside. You can walk around it in a circle with ample space to enjoy the garden. A tile in shades of grey, white and black lines the walkway.
