</div>
<div>The Dunshaughlin Tidy Towns Group are proud to share plans for a community improvement initiative called “The Dunshaughlin Sensory and Remembrance Garden” which is to be located in Dunshaughlin Park. The launch of the “Dunshaughlin Sensory and Remembrance Garden” is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and environmentally conscious community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This initiative will not only provide a new green space for the village but will also promote climate action. Creating a space that not only stimulates the senses but also serves as a place of remembrance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The garden will provide numerous benefits to the community including:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Increased Community Engagement: The gardens will stimulate our senses through touch, sight, scent, taste, and hearing.
</li>
<li>Promotes Biodiversity: The gardens will encourage the use of a native plants and provide pollinator friendly landscaping driving climate action.
</li>
<li>Educational: The gardens will be an interactive learning zone full of exciting things to touch and smell.
</li>
<li>Socializing Space: The gardens will provide a new community space perfect for socializing and holding events; connecting people, plants, and places.
</li>
<li>Promotes Mental Health: The gardens will bolster mental health by providing a unique and stimulating environment while also providing a space for reflection with scented plants and restful seating. The addition of a quiet reflective space dedicated to pregnancy and infant loss will provide a compassionate space for people to pause and reflect on the lives that have deeply touched their own in a tranquil environment.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These benefits make the sensory and remembrance garden a valuable addition to Dunshaughlin enhancing the quality of life for its residents and visitors alike.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Detailed plans have been received from a landscape architect, with a focus on themes of nature, the senses and remembrance. However, to make The Dunshaughlin Sensory and Remembrance Garden a reality we need your help. A grant application has also been submitted to support the implementation of initiative however this grant is required to be supplemented by community funding. This is where you come in!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With the support of local business, fundraising from the community, and public funding awards, we will be able to create a fantastic sensory and remembrance garden in Dunshaughlin Park. Creating an inclusive society for all while “nurturing nature together”.
