Learning Opportunities
We welcome groups from schools, colleges and educational institutions.
A visit to the Gibberd Garden provides ample opportunities to address many aspects of the National Curriculum including Art and Design, Mathematics, ITC and Science.
Children are able to develop their creativity and imagination by seeing a great variety of sculptures of different sizes, made from different materials. They can record from first hand experience and use this in their own work.
The Garden is available on weekdays, with the exception of Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons.
The suggested time for a visit is two hours. A trail is available for primary schools to use as a basis.
Please be aware that one boundary of the grounds is a brook, there are other water features and some plants are poisonous.
