Grow a Living Learning Space
Create or rejuvenate a school garden that brings greenery, practical learning and long-term educational value into your campus.
From unused space to learning space
Start New or Improve What Exists
School Garden Builds can begin with a new space or an existing garden that needs to become more functional, sustainable and educational.
Possible Garden Directions
The final concept is shaped around your site and objectives, with possible directions including edible and sensory gardens.
Create a focused growing space where students can encounter and care for a variety of useful herbs.
Develop a broader edible garden that supports practical exploration of plant growth and food production.
Shape a garden around sensory engagement, including spaces intended to support students with additional needs.
A Collaborative Planning Journey
The project begins by understanding your existing site, educational goals and vision for how the garden should serve the school community.
Provide photographs of the proposed garden location and an overview of what the school hopes to achieve.
Discuss the school’s needs and arrange a site visit where required to understand the location more closely.
Develop a personalised direction around function, sustainability and educational objectives.
Turn the agreed direction into a garden intended to support meaningful use and learning.
More Than Campus Greenery
A school garden can be planned as an educational resource rather than simply a landscaped area, with the solution shaped around how the school intends to use it.
