Bridge timber can supply a variety of planters and beds to encourage children to take an interest in the planting and growth of plants, flowers and vegetables. This introduces children to different experiences and textures.
All planters are constructed from PSE (planned side edge) tanalised timber to match surrounding items planters can bring colour and tranquillity into the playground. They also encourage wildlife into the area.
We can design any size of planter to suit your needs, including access to the less able. We encourage children to take pride in their playgrounds by getting involved in the growth of plants, and understanding what it takes for the vegetables and flowers to live. They can touch, taste and feel all the vegetables as they plant and grow themselves.
The planters can also be fitted with or without bench seating. All planters are robust and chunky in design ranging from timber rounds to railway sleepers. All edges on products are rounded and smooth to touch preventing splinters.

Encouraging children to grow and eat their own vegetables is a truely hands-on way to educate and inform about nutrition. Sensory planters give children a healthy attitude to what they eat, as well as teaching them to respect the environment.
