Cubby Houses
A play space or kids' backyard isn't complete without a cubby house!
​
We've designed and built quite a few over the years.
We have a range of pre-built ones available to purchase on our web store.
We also custom design and built them to fit your space, style and needs.
​
Here's a sample of some of our cubbies.

Our Tips for Creating a Child-Friendly Landscape
-
OBSERVE how children use a space to inspire and inform your design.
-
Work with existing on-site materials wherever possible rather than starting from scratch. Such constraints require CREATIVE SOLUTIONS which help a garden retain its sense of history.
-
PLAN AHEAD so that spaces will grow along with children. Create spaces that can be used in multiple ways, and which allow children to express their diverse interests and capabilities.
-
Use edible and sensory plants to provide architectural SHAPE and aesthetic BEAUTY. Veggies can be grown much more creatively than in an uncreative rectangle.
-
Get kids involved in planning the garden, growing their own food, and cooking from it. Scents, colour, and family rituals have a LASTING IMPACT on children's lifelong development.
“We engaged Edible Kids' Gardens to revamp
our tired and boring inner-city courtyard
that was totally uninteresting to our young daughter.
She now enjoys spending time in the garden,
waiting for ‘her’ strawberries to grow
and carefully watering the plants.
The entire renovation was completed quickly and professionally, and we couldn't be happier with the end result"
