Laterlife is pleased to support the project below:-
http://beehive.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/sensorygarden
Designed to stimulate the senses and provide a
haven of peace, a place to chill-out and unwind from the stress of modern living. A garden
designed specifically to be "Positive About Disabled People" and raise funds for
people with Multiple Sclerosis.
Take a
virtual trip around the garden, through different countries, its monthly photo galleries
& artwork, explore and discover the plants, birds and wildlife, water features and
wind-chimes, as we endeavour to describe the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch of
the various areas.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the Sensory
Garden Project
