The most important issues in the garden are that it must represent environmental, ecological, permacultural and sustainable issues.
This garden should also be intergenerational in order to cater for usage by the local community. The garden must be exciting and adventurous with areas of different interest and must be open so that children are visible at all times.
Quote From Head Teacher
“An inclusive, safe and inspiring outdoor space where every child, regardless of need or ability, can explore, learn, and thrive together in nature.”
'Letting off steam' is to be encouraged through adventurous layouts and 'safe play'.
In order to assist the children in their general personal development and in their understanding and enjoyment of the world around them, the playground should contain areas for drawing, painting , handicrafts, music and the growing of fruits and vegetables, all with wheelchair access.

More about this Design
Huge importance is to be placed in this garden on the planting. This must represent minimal maintenance and all year interest.
Planting must reflect the changing seasons and should include sensory plants, scented climbers, and exotic items such as palm trees and tree ferns.
Quote From A Mum
“I just want my child to have a place where they feel safe, included, and free to play like everyone else.”
This Special Educational Needs garden must be modern, traditional and timeless in order to cater for current and future generations of children.
