One of the most wonderful things we can do for our children is allow them to play freely in a safe and interesting environment that engages, educates, and inspires them to greater heights. Our gardens can offer the perfect place for children to play in ways that stimulate their imagination, let them learn about nature and exercise their bodies.
Creating a garden for play doesn’t necessarily mean including play equipment. It’s about designing gardens that encourage a child’s sense of adventure and exploration by using different surfaces, textures and levels in the landscape.
Child friendly gardens can be much more than the usual sandbox. It can include winding paths to chase each other through plants and foliage, a smooth surface made of recycled rubber for safety or even a climbing wall. And it doesn’t have to be childish, it can also be stylish.
