Garden of Five Senses, Gazebo & Patio

flowersBordered by woods to the south and lawn to the north, the Garden of Five Senses sits on a hill overlooking the Conestoga River. The garden is open to the public all year round.
 
As its name implies, this garden provides stimulation for all the senses. The garden is resplendent with color throughout the year, and during spring and summer, its flowers provide a bouquet of scents.

 

Scent Challenge

Also, visitors can test their sense of smell by trying to identify mystery scents at stops along the garden's path.

 

Visitors can relax to the music of singing birds and the rippling of a human-formed water fountain, waterfall, and stream that runs through the garden. 

 

Visitors

Interpretive signs along the garden's meandering walkway explain how each of our senses works and how we and other animals use them to survive. These signs are also written in Braille.

 

The garden's paved walkway easily accommodates strollers and wheelchairs.

 

 

Gazebo

 

This lush ornamental garden features a patio and gazebo, which are ideal for weddings, picnics, and other private group functions. The patio can accommodate 40 people, and the gazebo’s surrounding lawn can accommodate over 100 hundred people. There is one small open grill and one large covered grill located in the patio area.
