A space for workshops and events, the classroom is used by our regular after school gardening club, for activities such as plant pot painting and paper marbling, and is in close proximity to our fire pit, ideal for toasting marshmallows during the colder months.
The classroom sparked the development of our wildlife woodland, which has been transformed from waste ground, overgrown with brambles and nettles, into a child and wildlife friendly area, filled with natural play spaces.
Built out of entirely recycled materials, apart from the screws, the classroom has been designed with its own water harvesting system, using guttering and a water butt, enabling excess water to be used in the Garden.
The outdoor classroom was opened by the previous Mayor of Havering, Councillor Dilip Patel, at a charitable garden party hosted at the Hall.
