A new sensory garden has been opened in Buncrana.
The iCARE Sensory Garden creates different areas to provide a variety of multi-sensory experiences such as a sheltered sensory activity area, sensory path, play area and a garden for growing flowers, fruits and vegetables. It also includes a picture exchange communication board which is of particular benefit to children or adults who are either pre-verbal or non-verbal.
