From seed to plant (with the students we sowed various types of seeds, carrots, parsley, tomatoes, peas and pumpkins) and followed their growth and development.
From old wooden pallets by cutting and joining we got large pots for planting.
We first painted the pots with white paint.
Then we lined them on the inside with thick black garbage bags (we stapled them to the wooden boards). We filled the interior with soil.
We decorated the pots with animal prints. Scattering of small plants
We put up signs with the names of the plants we planted.
Every day the students took care of the planted plants and monitored their growth and development.
Students love to sit in the school’s “Eco Yard”, socialize, play, but also take care of the herbs, plants and flowers that they planted themselves.
