Nature Pathway
for the Blind & Visually Impaired

Located at the Jensen Botanical Garden
8520 Fair Oaks Boulevard, Carmichael, CA 95608

The Nature Pathway for the Blind and Visually Impaired is both a unique and tactile educational opportunity and
we encourage you to stop by and experience it. By feeling different textures and experiencing the unique fragrance
of the various plants, the pathways appeal to the visually impaired and those with physical challenges. The project
was inspired by a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Jacqueline Coffroth. Visit our website at
www.carmichaelpark.com to read more on the background of the Nature Path for the Visually Impaired.
