So many families are home schooling their children. What better place to do it than a private home school learning center in your own home. Built in cabinetry in white melamine with 5 piece melamine doors and drawers makes the perfect place to house school supplies along with open shelving to display children’s toys or projects. A small partial kitchen, also in white melamine, makes clean ups and snack time a breeze without having to leave the learning center.

This butterfly garden was designed by Alan Mumford and installed by Landscape Images, ltd, on the grounds of a private girl’s school located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is designed not only as a learning center for understanding the butterfly life cycle, but it’s also a fun whimsical space to spark the imagination of each child who enters it. Along the curving paths are information stations for each cycle of the butterfly life. The garden is rich with nectar producing plants to host the many different types of butterflies that can be present year round in south Louisiana, while ensuring to not pose a health or safety threat to the children in the school ranging from pre-school to 12th grade.
