When the garden is the teacher every child gets ground.ed
Every child deserves access to a garden or other outdoor space where they can spend time engaging with nature through their senses, calming their nervous systems and discovering themselves.
Ground.Ed by Brooke is an associate member of Therapeutic Horticulture Australia
Children’s Garden Design
We can help you plan and/or design a sensory garden scape for the children accessing your space.
Do you have a community grant or thinking about applying for one? We work with individuals, educational settings, local councils and community gardens to make unique natural learning, or therapeutic habitats for children of all abilities.
Speaking
Brooke speaks around the theme of the environment as teacher. She shares a distinctive philosophy around natural sensory engaged learning, slow pedagogy, relationships and children’s rights.
Through a combination of theory, research-informed perspectives and practice examples from her own work, Brooke explores the impact of creating meaningful outdoor spaces for children.
Programs and Events
We can design programs or workshops to suit your intended learning outcomes, therapeutic needs, or even to allow unscripted garden exploration.
We are happy to work with you to plan one-off events or professional development sessions.
Whether you are an individual, home-schooling parent, outdoor educator or community group, we have some gardening goodness to offer you.
And we don’t JUST work with children.
