Delta Sensory Gardens
About
Delta Sensory Gardens are two and a half acres of interconnecting gardens on the Strawhall estate, off Cannery Road near Netwatch Cullen Park, built around the five senses: water features, limestone sculpture, planting chosen for scent and touch, and the Kugel, a tonne of pink marble turning on a cushion of water. They belong to the Delta Centre, set up in 1990 as a centre for adults with disabilities; the gardens opened to the public in 2007 as a therapeutic space for the people who use the service and as a way of funding it, and the cafe, garden centre and gift shop are part of the same operation. The gardens and Cafe Thyme are fully wheelchair accessible. Strawhall is an industrial estate, so the approach is not pretty; follow the brown signs and it opens up once you are through the gate. The Christmas, Halloween and Easter events are ticketed separately.
