WESTSONG SENSORY GARDEN for People with Vision Loss

Proposal Directive

The proposal for the Sensory Garden is a combination of inspired elements for all visitors. Though primarily designed for those with vision loss, the garden is meant to be accessible for all and to engage in understanding each others experiences.

The entrance to the Westsong Walkway off Head Street in Esquimalt is being proposed for this garden due to its accessibility by BC Transit, the West Bay and Songhees Walkway, and by Water Taxi.  The terrain is ideal for mobility functionality. The land proposed for the garden possesses a rich history beginning with original and ongoing stewardship of Lekwungen People
