Abstract: The practicality and acceptance of the sensory area in the horticultural therapy garden were evaluated using a questionnaire. Those who are blind were exposed to and given the opportunity to engage with sensory area elements. Ten students were chosen at random, and we watched them interact in the garden. The children's reaction to the sensory area in the garden was observed using the inter-observer agreement method. By the use of the questionnaire and the interview schedule, recommendations and feedback were gathered. In order to determine the impact and applicability of the sensory area in the Horticultural Therapy garden, the input was compiled and examined. Interviews with students were set up to get their viewpoints. The questionnaire that was distributed nearby contained data about the student's demographic profile and serious issue related to the senses. On January 13, observations were taken of the goings-on there. Data was acquired starting with an interview with pupils from the visually impaired school. This was done in order to find out more about their objectives and the challenges they faced. The benefits of using sensory areas as part of investigating the surroundings while still using other senses were then investigated through interviews with the vision impaired individuals. Individual interviews are the most efficient way for qualitative research. Yet, there are several validity issues that come up when interviewing people who are visually impaired. Data collection from people with visual impairment may require more engagement than can be achieved with surveys and other quantitative methods. In case studies, a variety of methods have been used to carry out qualitative research with children who have vision impairment. This study's analysis was centered on making observations and getting feedback. The interview content serves as secondary data for the study. The interviews are a very efficient method for verifying the facts and adding a more individualized touchhere.
