One of the most powerful aspects of
nature is its ability to engage all of our senses. In 2014,
London Town will begin installing a Sound and Sensory Garden that
will encourage visitors to explore and experience nature.
The first part of the Sound and
Sensory Garden will be ready by July. The heart of this section
will be three outdoor instruments that can be played by anyone
(videos below). Surrounding the instruments will be some discovery
tables where visitors and families can explore seed pods, flowers,
and other natural items from our gardens. Child-friendly
building blocks made from natural materials will help kids appreciate
nature. And visitors will also be able to acquire a take-home nature
journal that encourages them to continue exploring nature in their
daily lives.
The completion of our Sound and
Sensory Garden will take between three and four years. Funding
for this first part has come from the Arts Council of Anne Arundel
County. To fully realize our vision though, we will need more
funding. If you are interested in helping us create a unique
space in our gardens, please contact us. In-kind services and
donations are also appreciated for this project.
