Sensory garden open for residents
The garden
Funding came from a variety of sources
An award-winning "sensory garden" for residents of a Somerset town has been opened, after three years of delays.

The garden in Crewkerne was designed by 18-year-old Melissa Whittaker for use by the town's residents.

Material for the project came from local suppliers, including a quarry and garden nursery.

Melissa won a Millennium Award from the Prince's Trust for the garden's design and was given £1,000 to help set it up. Further funding came from councils.

Around £9,000 was also granted by Living Spaces, an organisation set up to improve open spaces.
