Five Senses Garden Rooms
The Five Senses Garden (5SG) is a small public garden located at Phoenix High School off of Oakland Drive in Kalamazoo. 5SG was designed to appeal to our senses of sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste through the wonders of plants and gardening. It is a wonderful place to spend time walking through the plantings or sitting and enjoying the views throughout the year.
The heart of the Garden is a series of three circular "rooms" connected by a winding path that leads the visitor through the five senses – from smell to touch, on to hearing, taste, and finally sight when you leave the constraint of the walled rooms. Sculptures add interest, and benches allow for rest and contemplation.
5SG is overseen by a Board of Directors, and volunteers help plant and tend to the gardens, including Extension Master Gardeners. The 5SG Board has engaged with Kalamazoo in Bloom (KIB) to revitalize its efforts in administering to the Garden’s organizational needs. This partnership will help in promoting 5SG and bring fresh ideas to enhance the beauty and emotional effectiveness of the Garden.
