RESTORING THE MANSION and sensory garden FOR COMMUNITY USE
the Sensory Garden
The Sensory Garden is located next to the Mansion in Buile Hill Park. It was created in 1963, as a garden for the blind. It's changed from the original design (above) and now has 4 raised beds and lawn. There is also a back wall covered in ivy and some of the lawn in front of the gates has become flower beds.
Unfortunately the garden was left unattended for many years until in 2019 BHMA held an event to tidy up the garden and plant some bulbs. Since then many volunteers have worked in the garden to add plants and now the garden is looking much better.
BHMA volunteers have been tending the garden for many months but now the plants have had to be moved to a safe location for work to start on the garden and Mansion. They will be replaced once the work is done.

We met our target of £1000 and exceeded it and moved to £1500 and reached that! We will use this money to restore the 'garden for blind' back into a sensory garden to compliment the Mansion restoration and to enable community sessions.
