Objectives
Through our 2 educational gardens, we aim to raise children's awareness from an early age of their impact on nature, their ability to influence their environment and the role they can play in protecting natural resources. Our didactic approach also focuses on biodiversity.
Program
Children are given the opportunity to take an active part in sowing, planting and tending the garden plots, and then work together to prepare small dishes and/or drinks using garden produce.
Methodological approaches
Fun, hands-on activities in the garden
With each visit, children learn to tame their relationship with nature, in theory and in practice. They take part in themed games and various gardening activities, enabling them to consciously experiment with the role they can play in their environment.
