Laerskool Fontainbleau took a plain lawn and transformed it into a colour explosion by placing a tower of multi-coloured flags in the centre. The lawn is made complete with square beds of butter-yellow daises, as well as little pools of smooth white pebbles. To complete that act, the lawn is surrounded by beds of pebble and grass, a simple arrangement with a cosy effect.
The tiny tots from Thusanang Nursery School created a delightful picnic scene with cakes, drinks and a wicker basket of fruit. The scene is surrounded by a bed of colour, with rough grasses, tall white daisies and an array of petite pink and purple flowers. Trestles with balloons surround the garden and a small section of slate with adorable little houses makes this garden the perfect place for a midday picnic.
Laerskool Krugersdorp North opted for a rural-style garden, with wooden trestles and beds of white flowers interspersed with white pebbles. The central piece, a small tree encased in a large black tower-like structure, is surrounded by wire figurines with red lips and wild curly hair. The scene is completed by oversized dragonflies which hang from the branches of the tree.
Inn-Tuition Nursery School created a delightful garden with a neat lawn and consistent flower beds. Petite trees, including a lemon tree, bunches of white and purple flowers, as well as towering snapdragons create a placid place for any bee or butterfly to call home.
A true child’s garden was created by Pathways/ Smallways Nursery Schools, with the inclusion of a small sandpit complete with spades and buckets. The pit is cordoned off with wood and pebbles, and an ancient dead tree gives the space a fairy-tale-like feel. Ferns surround the tree and colourful flowers in all shapes and sizes complete this unique garden.
Coloured bricks, tons of sparkly white pebbles and various grasses make for a quirky and fun garden. And that’s not all, the children at Orion College included two huge pot plants, which are surrounded by yellow and purple pansies, and the trestles have been decorated with a banner and pictures.
