„“How do I design a garden for children?” This is a question asked by new parents and home builders who want to redesign the outdoor area around their own four walls. The greenery in front of the front door is still the safest playground for the offspring, as the children are within sight and earshot of mom and dad. Far away from traffic, the little ones can play and romp around carefree in their free time on the garden trampoline or in the bouncy castle. Friends also always like to come over and have fun on the play equipment in the neighbor's garden.
Tips for a child-friendly garden
A child-friendly garden is perfect for playing and romping around. However, parents should quickly bury the dream of a manicured lawn. Children have diverse requirements for a garden:
- robust lawn
- only sow non-toxic plants without thorns
- create hiding places and cozy corners
- fruit trees invite you to climb and offer an exciting spectacle as the seasons change, from blossom to fruit harvest
- play equipment in the garden guarantees fun for big and small children
A robust lawn is the be-all and end-all in a child-friendly garden. A play or sports lawn is ideal for the heavy use by the youngsters.
A garden for all senses
A garden for children should inspire the imagination. Play equipment such as a garden trampoline or a swing promotes the motor development of the offspring. Dexterity and a sense of balance are also trained while romping in the bouncy castle or on the play tower.
Parents ensure that there are no poisonous flowers or plants with thorns in the child-friendly garden. All senses should be addressed in a garden for children! Homely corners and hidden places invite you to exciting games of hide-and-seek.
What should parents look for when buying play equipment for the garden?
When buying high-quality play equipment for their own garden, mothers and fathers look for high quality. The TÜV certificate guarantees tested safety for the little ones. In addition to stability and first-class workmanship, the correct anchoring of the play equipment prevents accidents while playing. This way, nothing stands in the way of fun in the home garden with a sandbox & Co., and the children's friends in particular love to come by for a visit to the child-friendly garden.

Read also: Play towers and climbing towers for children
A very nice and informative article from you. Now is the time to get the garden ready again. We would now like to make our garden more child-friendly, as our two children love playing outside and often bring friends with them. This article addresses many problems, but I think it would be good if you could perhaps give some tips on what to do with play equipment in the garden if the garden soil is difficult, which is often the case. For example, we have very sandy and loose soil that you almost sink into if you just stand on it. But we still want to set up a play tower with a slide. I'm still relatively unsure whether our soil can tolerate a play tower. Couldn't you perhaps write a similar article with suggested solutions? Best regards and a happy new year!
