Kew's work in Europe

Meadlands Primary School

The Meadlands Primary School wildlife garden project began in February 1994. It aims to teach the children of the school, aged between 5 and 11 years, the importance of our environment and countryside.

The area was designed to incorporate a range of habitats and plants under threat thoughout the UK, using only native plants found in habitats such as hedgerows, meadows, ponds, and woodlands.

The work was carried out by the teachers, parents and most importantly the children of the school.

Over the past ten years Meadlands School have won many awards for this area and continue with new conservation projects.

This area today is used extensively for teaching subjects in the National Curriculum such as maths, science, art, and creative writing.
