We Have Plants!



The Library is extremely lucky to have huge windows that afford wonderful vistas – the Quadrangle on one side of the space, and Number One Oval on the other. We often see students look up from their work to gaze out the window at the green expanse before them. This makes us very happy! Studies have shown that feeling connected to nature, which can come simply from looking at a natural landscape or, in this case, a beautifully kept playing field, relieves stress and boosts concentration. This is why the Library has brought more of the outside into the space with some potted plants by Polly and the Wren. We hope they provide some of the aforementioned benefits, or at least make students and teachers very happy too!
