The Galada Avenue Reserve,  is transformed into a "Playful Sensory Garden." It is turned into an immersive space where visitors of all ages
can engage their senses and curiosity. The design concept revolves around activating the senses ,while being visually and experientially playful. It  offers an enjoyable and educational experience for not only children but adults as well. The garden aims to create new experiences and help gain knowledge at every turn. The idea of playfulness is complemented by designed structures that are whimsical and playful in shape and form. This is achieved while providing a habitat for the Jacky Lizard and Blue Banded Bee.
