Hello everyone!

I'm getting ready to create another garden on our campus. I love using themes to highlight the plants used in each area. So far we have a pizza garden, fruit/vegetable, sensory, bird, pollinator, fairy, and enabling gardens.

Any other garden themes to exicte elementary students would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Marry Hess, that is truly admirable! I think a rainbow garden would be a perfect addition. It could serve various purposes, such as teaching younger students the colors, promoting inclusivity of students’ favorite colors, and showing support to the LGBTQ.

Hi I believe a good theme garden would be a Butterfly Garden, where the garden would contain flowers that will attract butterflies.

I love this idea Tania! How calming and beautiful would that be?

Vegetable Gardens Having an edible garden is a terrific way to buy cheap, wholesome food every day. And it will benefit the pupils the most.

That's would great Idea. Think of flowers that attract different butterflies or you can make flowers that produce different scents like lavender, you could even create one by color.
