Producing before consuming

Sowing, planting, harvesting: children learn how food grows by doing it themselves.

A food forest is being created on the school grounds in the light of permaculture principles. Working in the biodynamic garden helps students step out of the role of consumer, become producers and grow their own food from local seeds.

The vegetable patch and food forest

In the school vegetable patch, children plant, tend and harvest seasonal vegetables and fruit, and taste what they have grown. Picking fruit in the food forest and observing living things supports a sense of ownership of nature.

Our animal friends

The chicken and duck coop on the campus teaches children responsibility, empathy and the life cycle. Leftover food is shared with our animal friends.

Learning the language of nature

An insect hotel, garden signs and children's drawings hung on the wall: corners that speak of loving and protecting nature.
