Straight Planter Bench

One for the little green fingers out there! Discover nature, be creative, and work together with this Straight Planter Bench - a simple yet inspiring addition to support gardening activities in every outdoor learning space, no matter how big or small! A compact rectangular design that combines comfortable seating with integrated planting areas, this inviting feature encourages children to gather together, get their hands dirty, connect with nature and experience the wonder of nurturing their own plants in the playground.

Crafted from high-pressure treated ‘play grade’ timber, this planter bench is built to withstand the weather while maintaining a natural, timeless look. Complete with a geotextile weed-suppressant liner, it supports easy planting and maintenance while providing hands-on opportunities for children to explore everything there is to learn and love about the natural world. Whether they’re exploring the plant life cycle, what seeds are and what they need to grow, discovering new fruits and vegetables and where they come from, or observing the habits of pollinators that come to visit - it’s all fantastic, hands-on cross-curricular learning that never fails to inspire them!

This is a space where curiosity grows. Nurture teamwork, communication, ‘understanding the world’ topics and a sense of responsibility for the environment as children care for their plants together. Whether used for quiet reflection or lively group interaction, the Straight Planter Bench helps to transform your playground into a greener, more engaging environment for children of all abilities.
