Percorso dei sensi - Path for disable people with aromatic plants to touch and smell

The current path of Percorso dei sensi was in any case accessible for people with motor disorders, but there wasn’t placed any educational tool along it; so it was necessary to enhance the path with educational panels, but at the same time it was important to give the possibility to the visitors, especially to those with sensorial and motor disorders, to access to the habitats and flowerbeds of Botanical Garden and to access to the information too. With these aims, three visual tactile panels with a QR code (to download the file referred to every panel) and a NFC tag (related to an audio guide), regarding the Botanical Garden and the main important tree species of mountain belt of central-southern Apennines were planned, realised and installed along the path. Moreover, four wooden planter with aromatic plants were placed along the path. The plants can be touched and smelled by the visitors to appreciate the morphological differences among the four species and the different scents. Nearby every wooden planter there’s a tactile panel describing the properties and the use of these officinal species.
