On the former site of Cronton Colliery, a national competition calls for a self-sufficient attraction for local and regional visitors to help regenerate the area. We propose a Sensory Garden for the 21st century, an inclusive place for the whole community of Knowsley and beyond; A garden for the arts, science, ecology and industrial heritage; A garden to foster community cohesion through ecological regeneration. The primary elements will include a community building with an organic bar and restaurant; cultivated gardens and interpretive material mapping the footprints of the original colliery buildings; wild, natural areas, and; an outdoor amphitheatre for theatre and solar-powered cinema. These will be the setting for play, relaxation, learning, therapeutic gardening and sensory exploration.
