The design and completion of a Sensory Garden at New Millennuim Day Centre

Brent Council seeks to appoint a supplier to design and complete development of a sensory garden at New Millennium day centre. The proposal is for the garden to be divided into four sections as follows:

1. Sensory: Sensory garden will include features such as, surfaces, objects and plants that stimulate senses through touch, sight, scent, taste and hearing. The aim of that part of the garden is to stimulate senses of service users who will benefit through that therapeutic addition to the service.

2. Meditation and relaxation section: this section of the garden is aimed to provide relaxation and promote wellbeing for calm and relaxed mind aiding mindfulness. That will consist of water feature, wind chimes and ornaments that will help service users to unwind and drown out the outside world and add the peaceful sense of enclosure for those who would benefit from relaxation.

3. Performance stage: this feature will enable talented service user to show case this skills and improve their performance. Many service users have already been involved in art and performance projects and this feature will enable us to provide a stage to offer and promote performance opportunities and enhance cultural diversity. This will also open further opportunities for outdoor activities such as, drama group, dance group, sing along and many more.

Green house and gardening: this garden feature will include green house for vegetable plantation, this will give service users a sense of being involved in the process from planting and using the grown produce at the skills kitchen.
