The Sensory Garden Experience
In October 2025, we opened the Sensory Gardens, an interactive space in Nunney’s Old Quarry Gardens designed for people of all ages and sensory needs to explore.
Come and explore the sensory spaces of the Old Quarry Gardens. We cater for all ages, especially children who need the full immersion of their senses, offering a safe and inspiring environment for exploration.
Taste
The sense of taste is specific to the sensation detected by our taste buds of the five basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. Taste is important because it allows us to determine if food is safe to eat. Also, maybe less true in today’s world of fast and overly processed food, it has historically enabled us to distinguish whether something is nutritious and will provide our bodies with the sustenance it requires to thrive.
