North Sensory Plot

Mount Gambier North R-7 School

The aim of our project is to create a sensory garden to attract native insects including bees to provide a sensory experience for children of trauma. The children will be involved in planning, construction and maintenance. The expected (environmental and educational) outcomes of the project include supporting children with trauma through; developing skills in planning, establishing and maintaining relationships, providing opportunities to form connections with the environment and links to indigenous culture and real life budgeting skills. We hope to establish a seed saving bank to rehabilitate the school Landcare area and provide sources of food for insects and indigenous animals including bees.
