 The garden cost £15,000 and the committee raised the funds following an appeal and presentation from Penny Bews, the director of the facility. Penny set up the centre which includes sensory rooms and now the garden. The facility is used by the children of Worcester and the surrounding area. The children are severely less-abled and the sensory centre provides a much needed and rewarding area. The centre is run by volunteers.
To see the children using the garden is very exiting" said John Gibson, Worcestershire Committee chairman " the design is fantastic and will be used for many years, this is exactly the type of project we were looking to support". The opening was also attended by Philip Blunden, Spoon Trustee and Projects Co-ordinator, Regarding the sensory garden project, Mr. Blunden remarked "the transformation is amazing and seeing it in use helps reinforce the values of Spoon".
