PlantBox PlantBox is a stackable modular garden that
is perfect for growing plants, flowers, vegetables, herbs and strawberries. Each trough is only 60cm wide, so schools can create a living wall or vertical allotment in the smallest of spaces. The benefits are plentiful – plants absorb high levels of pollutants, creating cleaner air for pupils to breathe; and research shows that spending time around plants can calm pupils, lower their stress levels and relieve mental fatigue. Planting nectar-rich flowers encourages bees and butterflies, offering a vital source of food and shelter for pollinators, particularly in built-up towns and cities, and can offer a great opportunity to bring science lessons to life. PlantBox can also be used to create larger scale living walls at schools. All the packaging is made from 100% recycled cardboard, and the small bits come in potato starch bags, avoiding single-use plastic and wasteful padding.
