This Year 3 Designing a School Garden Worksheet allows pupils to think creatively about the type of plants they would like to have in an outdoor setting whilst identifying the best types of soils to support growth. This activity could be done independently or as part of a paired task. There are lots of opportunities for discussion too! This activity follows on perfectly from our Year 3 What is the Job of Soil?
