Our school garden,

 There is nothing like the smell of fresh soil

Putting your hands in the soil, savouring the smell of fresh earth, the joy of being outside, shaping, sowing, tending and then harvesting. It is simply indescribable. In the school garden, our school children experience different situations that challenge them to take action. The tasks they encounter enable valuable experiential learning; the children learn through experience. In addition, the school garden contributes to environmental education and team spirit, it is fun and enables children to discover new interests and talents. The school garden creates cohesion and enables the discovery of new passions. 

Fields of knowledge

1. Growing vegetable  throughout the year:

Our little farmers plant and care for different types of vegetables, fruit trees and herbal plants. They learn about growth cycles and enjoy their own harvest. In the process, they learn how important sustainable agriculture and healthy nutrition are. 

2. Blooming oases for pollinators:

Our little insect researchers create colourful flower beds that attract pollinators and provide them with a habitat. They learn a lot about the importance of biodiversity and the role of small animals and insects in the ecosystem.

3. Compost and Soil care  

Here our little explorers learn how organic waste is turned into valuable compost. They learn how to keep the soil fertile and thus create the basis for healthy plant growth. The biological cycle as the foundation for nature's abundance. 

4. Herbal garden - discover the natural pharmacy

Here our little healers plant a herb garden and learn about the many uses of herbs from cooking to natural healing.

5 Water management and sustainable irrigation

Managing water is a key challenge in gardening. Our little hydrologists  operate irrigation systems that save water and optimise plant care.

6. Helping animals in the garden 

Our little animal researchers help beneficial insects in the garden. They build “insect hotels” and nesting boxes and observe the positive effects on plants and nature. 

 Garden projects not only promote practical knowledge and environmental education, but also strengthen the immune system and community cohesion.  Our school children develop an understanding of ecological relationships and take responsibility for nature. With every seed that is sown, not only does the plant grow, but also the awareness of a sustainable future.
