Garden Bench - College Park
Project Status: Available
Project Overview
The school requests the construction of a garden bench accompanied by two large planter pots or bins to be placed on either side of the bench. The garden bench must be painted or decorated to positively contribute to the campus's visual scene. This project offers an area for students to take a break from the classroom scene or cool down after stressful activities, thereby fostering a more child-friendly environment for learning.
Additionally, the two adjoining planter bins should be filled with soil and preferably made of wood or clay to provide areas for greenery, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and natural ambiance of the space.
