Many congratulations to Steve Hill (Head of Behaviour) at Bath Cats and Dogs Home for his work in creating the sensory garden for dogs. Caroline was a consultant on this project advising on plants that the dogs would like to interact with and use for possible self selection. Our medical herbalist, Jane advised on the planting and growing of the herbs while also proving the green clay, for the clay pit.

On the opening night our canine volunteer enjoyed the many delights of being in the garden and at one point helped herself to a wonderful mouthful of barley grass:
This garden will provide an exciting enrichment area for all the rescue dogs, connecting them to both nature, and having fun. We hope this will be an inspiration for all rescue centres.
