About this Garden Plan

This would be ideal for either a pre school or a Special Needs School. The rustle of grasses provide the sound, the sight the bright colours and wonderful seedheads of the alliums and love in a mist, with the sunflowers. Lots of lovely fresh tastes from the strawberries, vegetables and herbs. Smell is added by mint, lemon balm and lavender and touch by lambs ears and lovely soft grasses.
