"Astley Mole”

The mole has one very diminished sense and compensates for this by heightening the other senses in line with the aims of the sensory garden.

 

“Ivy Benches”

Carved by Tilly Dagnall 

Carved from single Oak logs the benches are designed so that the hand falls on the design as you sit on them.
