The new sensory garden at Erlas Victorian Walled Garden will be officially opened on 18 September at 11am and everyone is welcome to explore the brand new sensory garden.
This new and inviting space is situated just outside the historic walls of the original Victorian walled garden, offering a winding path that leads you through a series of beautiful flower beds, designed to captivate the senses.
The garden will be opened by the Mayor, Cllr Beryl Blackmore and Erlas Victorian Walled Garden employee Ellie Evans
What is the Erlas sensory garden?
The sensory garden allows visitors to enjoy a variety of experiences such as the beautiful colours of flower beds, the smells of all the planting and the feel of different leaves that bring all the senses into play.

I’d like to thank all those involved in bringing this wonderful addition to the area and for inviting me to be a part of the opening ceremony. I’m sure it will bring lots of pleasure to many into the future.”
