Australian childcare centers feature very little-to-no outdoor garden environment.

Child Play
- Early observations have shown babies and children are not only more active they use more movements and have more engaged play in their ‘natural environments' than they did before.
- Find or buy wood logs to use for cheap yet effective kids seating and if you're strapped for space use weeping trees for canopy cover
- Rocks and sandpits can be incorporated naturally and later filled in as a garden bed or herb box when the kids are older.
- Repotting is one of the most important things a gardener can do now. If your plant hasn't been repotted in the past two years, do it this weekend.
- Playing in challenging natural surrounds improves children's confidence and aids natural curiosity helping them to learn more about the world around them check out Flemings Top 10 Trees.
