The new platform will help people with disabilities immerse themselves in the world of tactile and taste sensations through touching plants
The Botanical Garden of Vyatka State University is an amazing world of wildlife in the very center of our city. The collection of plants includes about two thousand species with various characteristics: life form, color, texture, aroma. Of course, this attracts visitors. And few people think about the opportunity given to us to see and feel all this. But what if a person has difficulty in this?
Only help him by creating sensory gardens! Their task is to stimulate the perception of the world through living plants and natural materials, harmoniously located in a single space.
A competent approach to the design of sensory gardens can activate the vital sense organs and have a beneficial effect on the psycho-emotional state of a person. This is very useful for visually impaired people and young children who are just getting to know the world. Touching smooth foliage, rough bark or pine needles activates the nerve endings at the fingertips, helps improve memory, heart function, or increase vitality.
The first visitors have already highly appreciated the renovated area. Visually impaired and blind guests walked along the shady paths of the garden, enjoying the scent of blooming roses and daylilies, touching the branches and bark of coniferous and deciduous trees. Of greatest interest was the sensory garden with herbs and plants of different textures. How great it is to hear interesting facts and form your impression based on the sensations received!
The organization of sensory compositions on the territory of the Botanical Garden of Vyatka State University is carried out as part of the implementation of the strategic project "Health Technologies" of the Vyatka State University Development Program for 2021-2030. The Botanical Garden of Vyatka State University strives to fill everyone's world with the most vivid sensations and bring elements of harmony and natural conformity into the urban environment!
