Education & Community

School Grounds and Community Projects

Shani Lawrence Garden Designs design school grounds and community gardens because we feel access to nature for all is vitally important. Our education and community projects have included designing and creating fruit and vegetable areas, orchards and woodland areas. We also work with forest schools and embrace the concepts of permaculture design.

Dipping Ponds & Wildlife Areas

Dipping ponds, wildlife ponds and wild flower areas are a great way for children to get closer to nature and are especially relevant to schools as they are  a great educational tool. We can work with a school or community group to design and create many types of wildlife garden. In addition courses and workshops are always tailored to the groups’ needs and can be curriculum based.

Sustainable Schools

Shani Lawrence has many years of experience in education and community working with schools and community groups. Furthermore we currently work with a local school running an Eco Club and work with Sustainable Schools.
