Our brand new ‘Grow for Schools’ scheme has been inspired to bring nature and greenery into your School’s Pastoral or Wellbeing rooms to help maximise the wellbeing experience for you and your pupils through plants.
This scheme has been designed specifically for Primary or Secondary Schools within the Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, Suffolk areas.
This service is free if you are a School within Bury St Edmunds or Sudbury under the following postcodes:
Bury St Edmunds: IP28, IP29, IP30, IP31, IP32, IP33
Sudbury: CO10
After visiting a local School’s Open Day with my children, I noticed a room in the School called the ‘Wellbeing Room’. I immediately envisaged a wellbeing room with plants as a means to improve the look and feel of the room even more, with the addition of some greenery.
The colour green is aesthetically pleasing to look at, being surrounded by nature calms our nervous system and it’s even known for plants to increase our creativity.
The wellbeing and pastoral work in Schools are invaluable to children. The hope is that plants can enhance the wellbeing experience by making the room even more aesthetically pleasing to be in and for pupils and staff to be surrounded by nature.
All of our plants for this scheme will be propagated and grown by ourselves.
Propagated plants will be potted into a healthy peat free soil, ready to head to their new school.
We’re collaborating with Ivyline!
Ivyline has kindly agreed to sponsor beautiful decorative pots so your new plants will be complete in brand new pots.
Each month, one Bury St Edmunds or Sudbury school will be selected by recommendations from the public and five new plants will be delivered by us to be placed in the school’s Pastoral or Wellbeing rooms. The plants could even be for your Careers Adviser’s room to help make it feel more relaxing and welcoming for students, particularly those who may feel anxious about making their GCSE or Post-16 choices.
The type and size of plants will vary every month, depending on availability of propagated plants at the time of delivery. Some plants might be tall, some may be small but you’ll have the added greenery to add to your room. We’ll aim to only provide easy to care for, low maintenance plants as we know how busy a Teacher’s daily schedule can be.
