Welcome to Delta Sensory Gardens

Delta Sensory Gardens are highly acclaimed award winning gardens and described as ‘An Oasis of Peace and Tranquillity’. The gardens are set on 2.5 acres with a series of interconnecting gardens to beckon you with bright and beautiful blooms. Stroll and admire the beautiful limestone sculptures throughout the gardens, bask in the tranquillity of the water features and marvel at the one –tonne of pink marble floating on a cushion of water. 

Refuel with some tasty treats from the delightfully colourful and spacious Cafe Thyme. Pick up some plants to take from our garden Centre or something pretty from our small handmade gift selection.

Our gardens and Cafe are fully wheelchair accessible catering for individuals, families, groups, bus tours and school trips. To avoid disappointment booking in advance recommended for groups.
