Sensory Garden
The Sensory Garden, outside the doors from Sugar from the Sun, features raised plant beds that allow you to more easily enjoy plantings with all of your senses. The Sensory Garden includes a tranquil labyrinth, and seating to enjoy the setting. It is home to our “Trapped! When Plants Attack” carnivorous garden that opened in 2014.
Hours
The Sensory Garden is open during Conservatory Hours 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily; Wednesdays till 8:00 pm
Highlights
Labyrinth
A labyrinth is a winding walk whose single path leads to a central core. Unlike a maze, it holds no false turns or dead ends – the same path leads in and out. Its origin is unknown but it spans many cultures and faiths. Our labyrinth was made possible by a donation from John H. Krehbiel and Kennetha L. Krehbiel.
“Trapped! When Plants Attack”
"Trapped! When Plants Attack" is our latest plant display, highlighting carnivorous plants. These plants use traps, pitfalls, or sticky surfaces to trap and consume animals. Come see them in action! This seasonal display is outdoors in the Sensory Garden.
