• All soil, organics and improvers for garden bed development
• Fruit/vegetable/herb guidelines – what grows specifically in your climate region and continued maintenance
• A selection of seedlings* and or seeds for planting. All seeds are organic and heirloom varieties
• Half day planting experience with children (optional)
• Design of the space and size of the beds
* Seedlings will be an additional charge

Labyrinths and Mazes:

Labyrinths

Labyrinths provide a powerful means of introducing restful movement into children’s playspaces/playgrounds. They have one path which leads to the centre and back out again and have been used for centuries as a form of meditation. Walking a labyrinth is a right brain activity requiring a passive and relaxing mindset. Includes:
• Consultation and sketch plan design of the labyrinth
• Full construction and native grass plantings (other plants may be included if desired. Native grasses are hardy and drought tolerant so are useful for most labyrinth creations).

Labyrinths can be designed in many ways and with different materials as long as there is a single path to follow.

Mazes
Mazes differ to labyrinths in that they are more of a puzzle and provide children with choices about which direction to take, etc. Mazes don’t have to be composed of thick hedges and too tall for staff supervision. There is a wide variety of materials that can be utilised to certain heights that either provide gaps in the maze or are low enough to provide complete visual access. Plant mazes don’t all require high maintenance and pruning – there are many options for low maintenance mazes.
Includes:
• Design of the maze with staff and children – a 2 hour session that involves everyone!
• Construction of the maze using chosen materials

These examples of mazes are on a grand scale but mazes can be individualised to suit any requirements

Both labyrinths and mazes are great alternatives for areas where there is dead and/or dying turf.
