.:: Work Begins On Sensory Garden At Thor House, Thurso ::.
Date: July 2009
Location: Thurso, Caithness
Members and Friends of Thor House in Thurso have started work to create a new sensory garden that can be enjoyed by both respite and day care visitors to the centre. In the first stage of work climbers and creepers have been planted around the wooden fenced border that encloses the garden. Care has been taken to select wildlife friendly plants which, when established, will both look and smell good and provide cover for nesting birds. It is hoped that the plants will also attract bees, butterflies and moths for people to watch and enjoy.There are further plans to build raised beds, provide seating and grow many more herbs and plants. The project is being grant aided by CSV Action Earth and supported by Morrisons Supermarkets. Help in kind is been given by The Highland Council's Countryside Rangers
