Project Title: Design and Implementation of a Sensory Garden for Relaxation and Aesthetics

Project Overview: This project aims to create a sensory garden that stimulates the senses through plants with diverse textures, scents, and colors, while providing a relaxing and visually appealing outdoor space. The garden will be designed to cater to multiple senses, including touch, sight, smell, and sound, to enhance the overall user experience.

3. Aesthetic Appeal: Create an inviting outdoor space that complements the surrounding environment.
4. Interactivity: Include elements that encourage interaction for personal and communal relaxation.

   • Scent: Select plants with strong, pleasant fragrances to enhance the sensory experience.
   • Color: Use a palette of warm and cool tones to create contrast and visual interest.

2. Interactivity:

   • Scavenger Course: Incorporate plants with textured and scented leaves for a guided walk.
