From the students who painted the murals around the edges of the raised flowerbeds to those who completed the planting, built the fence and completed the concreting, there has been no shortage of willing helpers.
“The garden has been created by the students, for the students," teacher Cameron Granger said.
The sensory garden has been created to fulfill multiple purposes, including agricultural and environmental learning, as well as simply providing a space for students to spend time for their emotional well-being.
The garden was also designed to be safe, comfortable environment for students who have sensory issues.
The project, which has received a $3500 state government grant, is also going to be used as a cultural learning area where students can experience and teach their peers about foods native to their cultures.
