Free Webinar: Sensory Gardens Made Simple
Community Integrated Care and RSPB are proud to be coming together to deliver a special free webinar on developing low-cost, accessible sensory gardens.
Many people who draw on social care face barriers in funding and enjoying the gardens of their dreams. Sensory gardens are often seen as expensive, complex, and hard to maintain. This webinar offers important solutions.
In this interactive webinar, we’ll help to demystify sensory gardens – enabling you to discover simple and affordable ways to empower people to enjoy gardens that promote health, happiness, and wellbeing.
You’ll Discover:
- Top tips from the award-winning Sensory Gardens Made Simple resource pack on choosing budget-friendly, easy-care perennials and shaping brilliant gardens.
- Step-by-step guidance on developing, maintaining, and empowering the people you support to enjoy the sensory, health, and wellbeing benefits of nature.

About this Programme
This programme has been celebrated for its impact in making gardening truly accessible – promoting wellbeing, independence, and joy.
It builds upon Community Integrated Care and RSPB’s Save Our Wild Isles partnership with National Trust and WWF, which was inspired by Sir David Attenborough’s acclaimed documentary. This initiative was recognised with the Care Innovator Award (2024) for Scotland & North East at the Great British Care Awards and was celebrated as one of the top 10 innovations in the social care sector in 2025.
