The first is a discussion on the role of sensory gardens between Clare Hickman and Sarah Bell; followed by a second chat on sensory history, culture and interpretation, recorded sheltering within the shell of a ruined tin mine in St Agnes. For the third podcast we were joined in Porthpean by Becca Lovell (Becca took the photo of us opposite) to talk about the climate crisis, biodiversity and landscape change. In these informal conversations we ask questions about sensory diversity and landscape inclusion, the role of culture and sensory history in landscape interpretation and how we can use arts and humanities thinking to help face an uncertain future. You can access the playlist of all three tracks via soundcloud by clicking on the orange arrow below.

Using brown, orange, red, white, blue and green colour contrasts, along with different fabric textures, the maps depict the main routes and landmarks of the Arboretum, providing an overview of the site and how different areas relate to each other.

Sarah’s work is underpinned by a passion for qualitative methodological innovation, designing sensitive approaches that promote critical awareness of alternative ways of embodying and interpreting everyday geographies (including – but not limited to – those often described as ‘nature-based’).

She is beginning to take a sensory approach to history as she feels that this will allow for a new understanding of human-environment relationships and also encourage a more inclusive approach to landscape interpretation. Other areas of expertise include the tracing of pine scent from the sanatorium forest to the bathroom, the garden as a scientific and medical space, design and use of nineteenth and twentieth-century English hospital and asylum gardens, and the role of medical practitioners in the Victorian parks movement.
