Summary
Serendip Sanctuary’s groundbreaking sensory garden just won two major awards from Parks and Leisure Australia — Regional Industry Initiative and Community Facility of the Year — for turning nature into an immersive, all-senses experience designed for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Built with deep collaboration from the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, disability advocates, schools, and the local community, the garden features native flora you can see, smell, hear, touch, and even taste — like edible bush foods. Judges praised not just the design, but the inclusive, culturally informed teamwork behind it. With a national award in the sights and major upgrades planned for the You Yangs area by mid-August, this garden is setting a new standard for accessible, community-driven green spaces.
