Themed Gardening

Enhance biodiversity and rich learning spaces

If your greening project is a garden, it can have extra impact if you focus on one theme.

Tips:

• Themed gardens can focus on colours (rainbow garden), smells and textures (sensory garden), a country or culture (First Nations garden), a time period (victory or pioneer garden), or a specific use (food garden).
• Plant a medicinal garden with herbs, flowers, and plants that have been used for healing throughout history.
• Alphabet gardens can have a plant for each letter of the alphabet as an aid to young readers. Food gardens connected to culinary arts programs can give hands-on experience to secondary school students.
