Gardening is a sensory activity. Visual beauty. Restful sounds (think water, bamboo clacking, leaves rustling, and bird chirping). Tasty fruit, vegetable and herbal delights. An almost infinite variety of tactile sensations, from prickly to downy soft. And then there’s all the floral, fresh, spicy and woodsy smells the garden has to offer from healthy soil to fragrant foliage and flowers.
