We are designing and creating a new native area at our school. We asked Mr Hedley ( our client) What he would like the area to look/ be like. Here are some of his thoughts.

 

*A place where children can play

*Natural

*Interesting

*Seated area- maybe a table

*Open spaces for play

*Trees and plants which are hardy and can survive by themselves

*Lizard and weta gardens

*No trees bigger than those there

*Maybe an open tree hut

*Signs - plant names, welcome etc

*Poetry etc on rocks

*A feature gate to welcome etc

*Maybe paintings on the fence

*Bird feeders/ houses

*Native plants

Notes taken by Hannah B.

I wonder what ideas and designs we will come up with? I wonder what our garden will look like?


Thanks also to Gus Evans and Rob Cross for talking with us about the  local environment, best plants, soil type etc. We learnt a lot.
