I can bring fork, spade and 4 tyres from my allotment.
I've got lemon balm plants which are really smelly in a rather gorgeous lemony way.

Its an absolutely fabulous idea, anything that gets the dogs out of their kennels for extra time and to play is brilliant, and to already have the planning permission is really exciting, well done all who were involved to get to this stage xxx
Gosh, just looked at the video, didnt realise just how much room there is , this project is going to be fantastic when complete xxx

May I suggest involving some schools in this to gain some publicity? A competition for the best design of a mural or to name the sensory 'garden'. Low effort with a potentially good reward. Happy to discuss further.
Very exciting..love the photos too.

I so love this idea! When it comes to gardening I fall into the keen but clueless category! More than happy to do some digging! Good exercise and stress relief! I think the rugged area would be quite an adventure for the dogs, rather than bowling green smooth! I like the idea of getting schools involved too. Very excited about this project! ;D

Brilliant idea about involving schools, we could also approach some companies, after all we will wood, paint etc, etc, local companies such as Wickes, B&Q, The Range, etc, will be happy to help to approach them when we have more of a structured plan, good publicity for them and welcome help/items for the project.

Maybe some natural agility type obstacles? Tunnels, jumps, undergrowth to root around in/ search for toys in?

It has also been mooted that an easy way to improve the initial appearance of the Home is to paint a large wall mural on the outside using a local artist and children - the Home are very keen on this idea ;D I have a friend who is currently in the process of painting murals for the Owl Sanctuary in Ebbw Vale. I'll mention it to her as I know she's really keen on helping the home and I'm sure she'd like to help out
