Abstract:

Students attending the Governor Morehead School for the Blind experience a garden in Raleigh in a way many of its visitors do not. Inspired by Helen Keller, Martha Franck created a garden she intended to be experienced most fully through its smell, sound, and touch stimuli. Started in 1960 in Butner, it is in operation through a partnership between this school and the Garden Club of North Carolina.
