Sensory Garden at flemington primary school

We have co-designed a Sensory Garden at the school that is open to the local community. The Garden builds on the principles of The Children’s Sensorium, bringing together contemporary art (sculpture, sound installations, weaving and light works) with mental health strategies that will provide a site for sensory exploration, artmaking, respite and educational strategies to support children’s emotional wellbeing.

We are excited about co-creating an outdoor, sensory installation that can activate children’s curiosity, engage students with art and with nature, connect them to their bodies through the senses, and cultivate tools for emotional regulation and resilience.
