PLANTERS

Schoolscapes Planters are tremendously versatile and are ideal for parks, sensory areas or school gardening clubs. They allow children to observe plants growing and watch the seasonal changes they go through, helping them to discover more about the Natural World.

Try sowing and growing plants for a sensory adventure. Show the children the seed packets and discuss the instructions on the back need to be followed carefully. Write a sign explaining what has been planted with a reminder to water regularly. Include plants like some golden yellow sunflowers and sweetcorn which will give you the added bonus of providing their own seeds for next year!
