The natural environment is crucial for all children to explore and investigate. They can gain first-hand experience of nature through touching plants, smelling flowers and watching and handling insects (if they're brave enough!). The natural environment is crucial for all children to explore and investigate. They can gain first-hand experience of nature through touching plants, smelling flowers and watching and handling insects (if they're brave enough!). Class projects can take place outdoors, where children record patterns in the natural environment, different types of trees and the number of spiders or worms they find. It gives children a chance to be free, use their imaginations, get creative and have fun while learning at the same time. Here at Plastic Furniture Company, we want to give this opportunity to all children, which is why we have manufactured our brand new 100% recycled plastic planters. These planters are perfect for creating mini-gardens for schools that don't have the natural environment close by so that no child has to miss out.
