Plant & Play Wildlife Garden

Vikki Bustard had always wanted to be a teacher but had dreamt of teaching outside rather than in a traditional classroom situation. While working as a Horticultural Training Officer Vikki had the idea for Plant & Play Wildlife Garden and by chance she came across the perfect site to locate the business.

Plant & Play Wildlife Garden is a unique, educational space where families, school groups, special educational needs groups and even birthday parties can learn and have fun. A visit involves learning about the gardens’ wildlife and the vegetables that grow there through a mixture of quizzes and games. The children also get creative with garden related crafts and activities and then they plant up seeds to take home and grow. The garden is designed to have activities suitable for all ages and abilities whilst providing a relaxed and fun atmosphere to learn in. Each month the garden has a different theme, with the focus on scientific learning for older kids and a range of activities for the younger children.
