Abstract
MARGARET HUTCHINSON is the granddaughter of the late Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, who founded the Educational Museum at Haslemere. In 1931 she opened her own junior school at her parents' home, Yafflesmead, near Haslemere. The school flourishes amid acres of semi-wild garden, meadow and woodland, and in this setting an enthusiast has shown how children's interest in Nature may be fostered through exploration, discovery and intimate contact with living creatures.
