Time

The growing experts are responsible for all the planning of the space and and sourcing of the plants and trees. The planting takes 1-2 days, which is when you and your school will need to help out and involve your kids/students. At least one preparation meeting is needed in advance of the actual planting. Education videos and materials are offered.


Managers and planting experts of perennial plants visit the preschool or school to see opportunities, decide on placement, measure the area of the garden, etc.


Planter experts arrange a meeting with the assistant principal and teaching staff. Contracts and maintenance agreements are signed.


The planting is carried out with staff and children/students at the preschool/school.


The staff at the preechool/school document the project and the learning process


Finally it's time to evaluate the project. How did it increase ecological literacy and grow curiosity among children about sustainable cultivation, new foods and perennial crops?
