Winter Garden

Merriam Avenue Elementary School has been on a fully remote learning schedule since mid November. During this time we have continued to plan and create a vision for our Sensory Garden. As spring approaches we are researching plants that stimulate the senses and looking for optimal locations for raised planters that promote easy access . We have discussed sculpted touch pads, structures that create sound and a color scheme that is both stimulating and peaceful.
