What is the Sensory Garden?

Home Beneath Our Feet is excited to announce the building of our All-Inclusive Sensory Garden at 1117 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, NY 14209. The Garden will be an all-inclusive, wheelchair-accessible garden area where the community can experience their senses being met with garden delights. 

Our Buffalo neighborhood has suffered physically and mentally over these past couple of years. Physically, from an inability to be mobile and be outside. Mentally, we have sustained trauma from isolation, fear, and loss of loved ones due to the recent terrorist attack at our local food market and the pandemic. We are victims of social, economic, and environmental inequalities that have been intensified. We will begin to heal through the transformation of our green spaces. 

Our goal is to create a fully equipped, All-Inclusive Sensory Garden that allows space for adults and youth alike to learn and relax. We will have a variety of beds that will stimulate each of our senses. There will also be garden beds specifically designed for wheelchair accessibility. Our gardens are a place of healing and growth.
