This Gold Award winning Outdoor Learning and Nature Garden has now been completed.

It is already receiving accolades, praise and admiration from School Authorities, as well as from the children themselves.

For several years, the Head Teacher, Miss Nicola Percy, had desperately wanted a Natural Space, where her pupils could wander freely underneath a leafy canopy and also where they could have Outdoor Lessons, in all weathers.

Miss Percy worked closely with Robert and together they devised a Design which encompassed all her wishes.

Robert’s team have often been described as the best and most outstanding bespoke Landscape team in the UK.

They have excelled themselves on this Project and worked constantly throughout all weathers, in the Winter months.

Robert personally, is delighted with this Garden and says it even surpasses his Award winning Woodland garden at the 1999 Regents Park Flower Show.
