Start children gardening at RHS Garden Harlow Carr
School visits to RHS Garden Harlow Carr have been cancelled until the summer term 2021 due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation. Please check our website for further updates or contact via email regarding visits later in the year.
Harlow Carr offers school groups a wide variety of exciting environments to explore including meadows, woodland, kitchen gardens and much more. We welcome all students including those with special educational needs.
As well as our guided visits, with workshops for primary and secondary schools, we also have a range of resources for self-guided visits covering many areas of the school curriculum including art, numeracy and the natural world.
Schools on a guided visit are hosted in the Bramall Learning Centre. This innovative learning centre was opened in 2010 and is one of the UK's greenest buildings. The building is a fabulous example of sustainability. Its many features can teach us how to work closely with the environment, while the Montague Burton Teaching Garden and Learning Centre Greenhouse can provide pupils with the opportunity to look at carnivorous plants, see our vegetable beds, experience pond dipping and carry out practical horticultural activities.
All of our programmes include outdoor experiences in the garden. Please ensure that the students and accompanying adults are dressed sensibly for the weather, with suitable footwear and appropriate clothing. It is advisable that pupils visiting the garden have up-to-date tetanus inoculation, particularly if a hands-on gardening activity is planned.
To book your visit or for further information please contact us. Tel: 01423 724646 Email: schoolsharlowcarr@rhs.org.uk
