"Creating a Multi-sensory Spiritual Garden in your School" is a new publication, researched and written by Shahne Vickery, offering a host of practical ideas and advice for schools to create a spiritual garden in their grounds. It includes several hundred high-quality photographs of school gardens throughout the UK as well as many fresh ideas for outdoor prayer and reflection activities. Each chapter focuses on one of the five senses and considers how planting, hard landscaping, art installations and wild life habitats can be used to foster children's spiritual development, encourage them to appreciate the peacefulness of natural surroundings and enjoy the space interactively. This book is available from Jumping Fish.

For more ideas about spiritual gardens, including examples from other faiths, see the REEP website.

"Pause for Reflection" and "Pause to Reflect on Values" are ideas for creative, interactive indoor displays to promote spiritual development in primary schools. These are meant as the stimulus to get you to think up your own reflective corners to support your students. They are also available from Jumping Fish.
