Moate students continue to develop the Sensory Garden at Dún Na Sí

MCS Transition Year students are continuing to develop and maintain the Sensory Garden in Dún Na Sí Amenity Park. The garden is a ‘work in progress’ with many students and the young adults from St Hilda’s Services, Moate. With current COVID restrictions, the students can work safely on this project in the outdoors with social distancing.

The group’s current focus is on a Wooden ‘Mix & Match’ puzzle to replace one of the existing features which has deteriorated with weathering. The students met virtually with the young adults from St Hilda’s in the form of a zoom meeting and discussed their plans for the garden and the design of this puzzle.

The students plan take a weekly trip to the garden to do some weeding and general garden maintenance.
