Raised planters are great for school gardens. They provide an opportunity to grow edible plants in great soil, offer a chance to learn about gardening, and can be a unique design element on the school ground. Don’t be afraid to get creative with raised planters, and even subtle changes like widening the edge of the planter so it is sit-able can make a big difference. Different heights of planters can be used to create different spatial experiences, and correspond with the ages of children attending the school.
