When designing the new garden our purpose was to create attractive yet practical natural spaces which not only awaken a sense of wonder and awe among young children but encourages them to engage in hands on and real work.
Watering plants, weeding, planting, harvesting, mulching, raking, looking after the worms, maintaining a greenhouse etc. are the nature of activities in which the children will be involved in throughout the year.
In order to develop children’s spatial awareness and sense of height, depth and length, we have allowed for surfaces to be positioned at different levels. Children will learn to take into consideration the visual differences in dimensions while moving around the play areas. They will develop the ability to take on challenges, to be independent, to try different activities and to be aware of risks.
