In this school project children learn about plant life cycles and biodiversity. They learn to gather seeds from local wildflowers and transform empty lawns into flower fields where bumblebees and bees can eat and thrive.
With the flower field as a specific example, the students get a practical and exploratory way to gain knowledge about basic connections in nature. And most important of all: they get to experience that they can do something to repair nature where they live.
