The therapeutic advantages of touch and smell is well known and the sensory garden at the Centre Algarve has been designed for our special needs guests to experience multiple senses. This means that the plants that we have grown, have a nice 
or interesting feel, like our soft Lambs Ear, together with plants that are scented and beautiful to look at. Some of our flower beds are raised, to enable guests in wheelchairs to have a closer look and feel.
