WELCOME TO URBAN GREEN DESIGN
If you are looking to improve your playground or transform
your own garden… Urban Green Design can help!
The business is run by Pauline Smith who worked as a
primary school teacher in and around the North East of
Scotland for over 15 years. It was whilst teaching that her
interest in outdoor learning grew.
Whilst continuing to teach, she retrained in garden and
landscape design and in 2015 passed with a distinction.
Her experience as a teacher gives Pauline a unique insight
into what schools and children need from their playground
and the role the outdoors has in teaching, learning and play.
Since establishing Urban Green Design, Pauline has been
involved in some fantastic projects, working with nurseries
and schools, elderly care-homes, community projects and
many residential properties across the North East.
“I retrained because I wanted to work with schools, helping them to improve their playgrounds.
But knowing just how important being outdoors is for both physical and mental health, I just
want to get everyone outside, children and grown-ups – that’s what I’m passionate about.”
