I want to make a snail home, an environment to encourage snails in a kindergarten garden. As most gardens dont wont to encourage snails I'm having trouble finding ideas online. I'm thinking a terracotta plant pot upside down. that's as far as I've got.

Maybe planting some of the things snails love to eat with terracotta pots among them Eg clivias, liriope, rengarenga for starters

Snails hate sun, so make sure the terracotta pots are in the shade. They thrive in shaded damp areas such as - large/dense/low growing plants, plank of wood against a hedge, pot plants with lips and overflowing vegetation, and as above, encourage them with tasty food.

We have an insect hotel at work in a shady corner of the play area. It has terracotta pots, pipes, bricks, ponga logs and ferns which the snails seem to love!

Yes think I'll go with a shady spot, add leaves and mulch, put driftwood, half bury a terracotta pot on its side and a few rocks and ferns.
