Graveney School reached out to Father Nature after securing a grant from the 'Tesco: Bags of Help' program to develop a wildlife garden in their Lower School grounds. Our team transformed this vision into a vibrant, engaging space that serves both educational and recreational purposes for all students.

What Father Nature Delivered:

• Pond Installation: We created a stunning pond that now attracts a variety of aquatic insects and amphibians. Birds also visit daily to drink and bathe, enhancing the garden's biodiversity.

• Wildflower Meadow: We planted a colorful meadow of UK native flowers, with many self-seeding plants that provide essential food for pollinating insects each summer.

• Raised Beds and Compost Bins: These features support ongoing gardening activities and promote sustainable practices within the school.

Benefits of the New Garden:

• Educational Resource: The garden serves as a living classroom where students can learn about nature, ecology, and sustainable gardening practices.

• Peaceful Retreat: It provides a quiet, serene place for students to relax and enjoy the natural environment.

• Biodiversity Enhancement: The pond and wildflower meadow attract various wildlife, creating a thriving ecosystem within the school grounds.

Future plans include adding bird feeders and planting vegetables, further enriching this dynamic space. The Graveney Wildlife Garden is a testament to how thoughtful landscaping can foster learning, relaxation, and environmental stewardship.
