New sensory garden supports pupils at Farnborough Primary School

Cherrywood Community Primary School in Farnborough has opened a new sensory garden, offering pupils a peaceful, inclusive outdoor space, created with support from the 2025 Kebur Community Project Awards.

A new sensory garden is providing a safe and inclusive environment for pupils at a primary school in Farnborough thanks to the 2025 Kebur Community Project Awards.

Applications for the 2026 awards which offer up to £3,000 worth of garden materials to support community groups, schools and charities in improving outdoor spaces for people and wildlife are now open.

Cherrywood Community Primary School received £1,500 of garden materials to help create a calming, inclusive outdoor space designed to support pupils’ wellbeing.

The new Addagrip resin-bound surface was installed in February with the help of local contractor Esme Garden Design and Landscaping. The materials for the surface were jointly funded by Kebur Garden Materials and Addagrip.

The wider sensory garden will feature tactile planting, fragrant herbs, raised beds, reflective spaces and wildlife-friendly elements such as bug houses and pollinator-attracting plants.

Claire Hills, Social Emotional and Mental Health Lead at the school said: “This sensory garden will provide a safe and inclusive environment, particularly supporting children with autism, sensory processing needs, and any pupil who would benefit from a peaceful, nurturing outdoor space.”

Jo Holtom, Business Partner at Kebur Garden Materials, called the installation “a fantastic example of what can be achieved when local businesses collaborate”.
