Foundation Areas
 

 

 

   

 

 All types of gardening are suitable as a teaching resource. Fieldwork Rest and Play have around 15 years worth of experience developing school grounds, with the last 8 specifically showing a large increase in the improvement of foundation areas.

In order for an area to be successful it has to be designed with the activities that will be carried out within it in mind, before structures.

When working with teachers we encourage the following thought process in order to create a successful area:

bullet
