The Sensory Garden showcases plants that evoke the five senses: sight, smell, touch, hear and taste. Featured in the garden are interesting textures, bright colors, intriguing smells and plants that will bring you back to childhood memories. Invigorate your senses with a journey to the Sensory Garden.

This garden is used for horticultural therapy programs, providing opportunities for elderly and those with disabilities. Specific programs give these groups the experience and tools to continue gardening past physical and mental setbacks. Raised beds and vertical gardens allow those with physical barriers to experience plants up close.

The Sensory Garden was designed in 2009 in collaboration with the Denver Office of Disability Rights, Commission of People with Disabilities and University of Colorado Denver.
