Outdoor Planter

Support early scientific enquiry and hands-on gardening experiences with the Outdoor Planter. This durable wooden planter provides a practical, child-friendly way for EYFS and KS1 learners to explore planting, growing and caring for plants in outdoor learning environments.

Children can dig, plant seeds, water and observe plant growth, developing coordination, focus and practical gardening skills. The planter also encourages early observation, problem-solving, and discussion about the natural world. It can be used individually or as part of a larger Gardening & Growing Area, helping children plan, maintain and reflect on their gardening activities.

Durable and weather-resistant, the planter is suitable for year-round outdoor use, supporting continuous learning and engagement with nature. Pair with other Gardening & Growing resources, such as a Set of Gardening Tools, Set of Watering Cans, or the Wooden Greenhouse and Storage Set, to create a complete outdoor learning environment that inspires exploration, teamwork, and practical gardening skills year-round.
