Marshalls, the UK’s leading hard landscaping
transformation company, has launched its
Manifesto for Education in response to the growing
needs of the education sector for expertise,
guidance and sustainable products to create
stimulating and creative outdoor learning areas.
Marshalls understand what makes good design
within an educational landscape and has supplied
over 1,860 schools within the last 3 years alone
with products including hard landscaping, street
furniture and water management solutions across
the UK. Transforming outdoor areas around
educational buildings allows young people to
experience much more than books and computers.
As well as the benefits of fresh air, a change of
environment stimulates different senses and enables
learning to be undertaken in diverse and new ways.
