Native Gardens & Yarning Circles for Schools in Camden, Macarthur, Oran Park & Menangle Park
At Blades and Bolts, we believe school grounds should be more than functional — they should be inspiring, educational, and culturally respectful spaces. That’s why we specialise in creating Native Gardens and Yarning Circles for schools across Camden, Macarthur, Oran Park, and Menangle Park.
These projects not only beautify school environments but also provide valuable learning opportunities, support student wellbeing, and align with many government grant programs for sustainability, culture, and education.
Why Native Gardens in Schools?
Native gardens offer schools a chance to bring the Australian landscape into the classroom. They:
- Support Local Ecology – Native plants attract birds, pollinators, and beneficial insects.
- Reduce Maintenance – Native species thrive in South-West Sydney’s climate, requiring less water and care.
- Educational Value – Hands-on learning for science, sustainability, and geography.
- Cultural Connection – A way to integrate Indigenous knowledge and appreciation of Country.
- Grant Eligibility – Many environmental and education grants support native planting projects.
Yarning Circles – A Place for Connection
Yarning circles are traditional spaces for conversation, respect, and learning. In schools, they provide:
- Inclusive Spaces – Where students gather, listen, and share respectfully.
- Cultural Respect – Acknowledging and honouring Indigenous traditions.
- Wellbeing Benefits – Encouraging mindfulness, calm, and social connection.
- Practical Use – Can be used for outdoor lessons, group discussions, or ceremonies.
- Funding Opportunities – Recognised as valuable cultural projects often supported by grants.
