Scents and Sensitivity Garden
Built in co-operation with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, this waist-high raised-bed, designed for the enjoyment of the visually impaired,
features plants alternating between scent and texture. All plant labels are engraved in Braille, as well as in English and Latin. There are wind chimes in
the tall trees nearby, which also offer cooling shade from the sun, often a problem for those who eyes are very sensitive to bright light. Flowering dogwood
and wild rugosa roses on the perimeter add their perfume to the Scents & Sensitivity Garden. There are benches nearby to rest amidst this calming oasis.
This Garden was featured in Amazing Race Canada Season 4 – Episode 10 as a challenging roadblock for competitors.
