D&A creates garden feast for the senses

A 26-strong team from Dollond & Aitchison's headquarters demonstrated its commitment to the community by putting on their wellies and rolling up their sleeves to build a sensory garden for disabled students at Queen Alexandra College.

The team included D&A chief executive Andy Ferguson and the D&A board to create the Sensory Leisure Garden for the partially sighted and disabled students.

Andy Ferguson said he was delighted with the outcome: 'The garden combines Mediterranean, Japanese and British influences so it is a feast for the senses.

For people who have lost something as precious as eyesight, we believe this is a valuable way to bring the experience of smell, touch and sound to life.' Sarah Bates and Robert Hopkins are pictured.
