Tranquillity Garden

The goal of the Gore Main School Enviro-group during 2014 has been to begin a ‘Tranquillity garden’.  A school survey showed that children would enjoy a space at playtime where they can read, reflect or relax with friends.  We chose an area beside our orchard to begin the space.  It requires a lot of planning and work, like fencing.  We visited St Patrick’s in Invercargill to get ideas from their ‘Prayer garden’.  We have begun smaller initiatives within the school that will eventually be incorporated into our ‘Tranquillity garden’.  We have not yet completed this space but look forward to seeing how it develops in the future.
