Designing a Sensory Garden with Mark Holman

Mark Holman, Horticultural Lead for the Sensory Garden at the Gardeners’ House, will be talking about natures ability to support well being and how some of those strategies have been employed with his project at The Gardeners’ House. Tips and tricks for making your outdoor space more sensory, an evening of conversations around what can be done to create a place that can heal, and how to do your best to heal the landscape around you too…

A multi-disciplined creative, gardener and naturalist, engaging with community to support positive and sustainable change; Mark has had a wide range of experience creating landscapes, but a real passion for creating somewhere special to feel good. From planting show gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, teaching garden design to degree students at Eden Project, creating Trelisk Hospitals Healing Garden, to taking a planted bed on tour, to encourage discourse around the healing power of nature; all have fed into how The Sensory Garden has been created.
