School visits to Rosemoor
RHS Garden Rosemoor is a spectacular garden whatever the season and has a diverse selection of environments for schools to explore. This includes the Formal Garden, Fruit and Vegetable Garden, wildflower meadows, Lady Anne’s Garden and woodland.
We offer a wide range of workshops for schools to book which are delivered by our experienced education staff.

We welcome all students including those with special educational needs.
Rosemoor’s education facility, the Peter Buckley Learning Centre, is available to all visiting schools. This exciting resource offers two large classrooms, toilets and a large undercover terrace where we can do many outdoor activities whatever the weather as well as the terrace garden which includes a vegetable patch, sensory garden and raised ponds.
The surrounding area of the Peter Buckley Learning Centre is now completed and includes the community plots, a Forest Garden, a Cob shelter and a large area of lawn where children can get rid of some excess energy!
Schools can use this facility during guided school visits. Activities will be taught there and the building can be used for lunch and as a base from which to explore the garden. Schools can always use ‘The Brash’, our picnic play area or discover the gardener’s recreation of Quentin Blake’s ‘Green Ship’, weather permitting.
Secondary school visits
For years 7 - 13 we are able to offer tours of the nursery, talks on climate control and plant propagation, and the garden may be used as an aspiration for art and photography projects.
If you have any requests for topics that would enhance learning with a visit to the Garden please get in touch. We will do our best to assist and develop workshops for your specific needs. Topics do not need to be restricted to horticulture and botany but can cover a wide range of subjects including ecology, geography, art, design, maths, English and science.
For examples of workshops we deliver to primary schools and more ideas for secondary school visits see workshops for schools - spring and summer 2013 (1.17MB pdf).
