Design & Technology

Parks and gardens are designed spaces for use by people and as such are a good place to study Design and Technology. Their main value will be in introducing design ideas for development in class.

There are also many examples of the interesting use of materials for designers, including iron, wood and even plants. Small scale publicly accessible structures such as bandstands, shelters and playground installations offer further inspiration for school work.
