A sensory garden is a space which has been designed to stimulate and indulge all five senses, using plants, flowers, light and sound to create a completely immersive experience. If you teach primary or early years children, a sensory garden can be a fabulous way to help your pupils learn through play and interaction. In this article, I will show you how to create a sensory garden in your school that will engage your pupils and be a wonderful environment for all to enjoy. What are the benefits of sensory play for pupils? There are cheaper options, too, like this BillyOh Pop Up Gazebo 3m x 3m . BillyOh Quadra Timber Gazebo 5. A pergola for your open-air living space Outdoor learning can and should take place regardless of the weather conditions. After all, each one of the four different seasons holds so many opportunities to support children's learning! Therefore, it is a good idea to prepare your space for all weather conditions. For example, will you be able to provide shady areas in the hot summer sunshine? This could be a purpose-built awning, or a makeshift shady spot, using a tarpaulin attached to a tree.Developing an inspiring outdoor learning environment should be a goal for every early years setting. Will it be used by the same people, or by different groups? What is the range of interests and abilities? What are the functional needs - shade, shelter, seating etc. Take account of how this might change in the future. Gather all that you know about potential users, ideally by involving them in the process. If you don't know much about them, find out more - one of the most common mistakes we see is designs based on assumed rather than actual needs.

Planning a garden is an opportunity to correct awkward proportions. We’re talking, for example, a long narrow garden, or an odd shape, such as a triangular plot. Depending on the design, it can be attached to an existing wall or house or freestanding. A contemporary log cabin , for one, is designed to fit in the corner of your garden. BillyOh Robyn Corner Cabin 14. Go extra with a massive umbrella How do you want to feel in your garden? Emotions play a big part in how we experience a space. Make a list of what’s important to you. For instance, do you want to feel relaxed? Then a hot tub, sauna or a yoga space could be a good idea. Is fun and play important? Perhaps a games area where a tennis table, petanque or table football would be worth considering. You can also collect natural resources for the purpose of a lovely potion-making enhancement, such as the image shown below. This is a great way to support children's fine motor development, too! You can collect and showcase different resources depending on the season. One of the simplest ways to add shelter and sunshade to your outdoor space is through a patio umbrella or parasol. The BillyOh 2.7m Cantilever Parasol , in particular, does a great job.

A name that reflects the beauty and abundance of plants while being catchy and memorable can help attract customers and establish a strong brand identity for your plant nursery. Establishing an effective outdoor learning environment that allows for challenging and inspiring outdoor play involves creating high-quality, rich play landscapes.

A range of different play styles, children’s schemas and peer group interactions can flourish in a natural environment: children can shout and move around without restriction, while the common visual distractions found indoors – including lighting and wall displays – are absent outdoors. Another good idea for beginners – grow cacti, air plants or succulents. These are plants that require practically no efforts to grow and propagate and can be grown in a small plant nursery.So when it came time to create a big boy room for my little man Chase I showed my husband Josh a few samples of pallet walls created by adventurous parents. Nowadays it is possible to create an interior for a nursery. Of course, the options are numerous. Pansies, for example, in a variety of colors will add to the fantastic appearance of your plant nursery and they tolerate heat, drier soil and they bloom until the first frost. Think about the environmental impact of what you propose to use. ‘We must all do our bit to reverse the effects of climate change and the gardening world is perhaps one of the industries leading the charge on changing our habits to be more eco-friendly,’ says Teresa Conway, gardens editor of Homes & Gardens. Providing opportunities to paint on walls and floors using water and paint brushes will encourage children to make marks whilst practising their fine motor skills. This is just a small sample of plant names, and there are countless more varieties and species available at nurseries. Names For Plant Nursery

Wild meadow‘Habitats for our native wildlife are shrinking – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Planting a wildflower meadow as well as giving nature space to recover by leaving areas of gardens to go wild all makes a difference.’Either way, both serve the same purpose. And that is to provide cool shade and extend the use of your outdoor living space. Plus, protect your plants and BillyOh garden furniture from harsh elements.
