Recycled garden tile art

garden tile art
Our school gardening club has been focusing on art projects in January and February while we wait for some warmer weather to begin our planting. Our gardening club mission, as well as growing all sorts of fruit and veg, is to make the space as eco friendly as possible and a feast for all the senses.

This garden tile project used lots of recycled and found materials and created art which is a treat for the eyes and also the hands. It introduced the children (and us) to a new technique and a new material, and created a permanent outside art gallery for us to enjoy all year round. Here’s how we made our garden tile art.
