School I work at leases space. They built a flower box for planting. I love the idea of using shoe bags for planting. I was thinking of hanging them of fence. Michelle Morse, East Bridgewater
Fabulous!
Here is a list of all the design challenges I can think of for an outdoor classroom at my school;
– Water access
– Budget
– Vandalism
– Location of green space
– Negative attitude
– Weather
Brainstorm some possible ideas to overcome those challenges;
– Water access: I could research, with the students, how to set up a system to collect rain water.
Meanwhile, we can also bring buckets from inside but that would have to be a short term solution.
– Weather: Weather in New Brunswick is pretty rough and it saddens me that the best months for
gardening are usually when school is over but we could plant things like pumpkins and apple trees
since those are usually ready in the fall. Still not sure who would take care of the garden during
the summer months but I’m sure I’ll be able to find some volunteers. Also, we could do a container
garden that we could bring inside when the weather is not cooperating.
– Vandalism: Sadly, our school is often subject to vandalism. It makes me nervous to think that we
could all work so hard to create an amazing outdoor space and that it could get vandalised. Again,
I’m thinking of container gardens that we could bring inside during weekends… I don’t want to let
that fear stop me though. Maybe we could also put up a fence with a locked gate to get in? That would
involve a much bigger budget but it’s still something to consider.
Fantastic brainstorming. I like the fact that you are not letting some of these challenges in the way of your thinking. Way to go! Make a challenge into an opportunity. Awesome job!
Love this!
For our new nature school, we have created a steering committee that is all about what is possible!
Fabulous!
