Innovative solutions for play, outdoor learning and all year round access to natural places
Primary school grounds can have the most positive influential effect on children’s development. As a resource for outdoor learning and natural play, these special places can provide strong foundations for co-operation, respect, nature awareness and engaging with the vision, values and culture of your school.
We have transformed hundreds of school grounds into multifunctional, innovative landscapes and gardens within a natural setting. Turn your landscape into a valuable resource valued and loved by your school community.
