A green school

DESCRIPTION

Our school has a yard and a small garden. We decided to take initiative and to make them greener and more beautiful.

We decided to plant herbs and small plants. We did everything by ourselves and we agreed to take care of them for the next years.

AIM

Create a greener school, understand the importance of plants and develop environmental awareness

STEPS

Our teachers told us about Mediterranean climate and Mediterranean vegetation

We read many books about the plants of Rodos and we discussed which plants we know and which ones we would like to have at school

We asked a gardener if these plants could grow and ways to take care of them

We brought stones from the beach to decorate the garden

After all, we saw that it was very easy to grow the plants

RESOURCES

Plants and gardening equipment

COST

No cost. The plants were donated by Municipality but in any case the cost is from 3-5 euros per plant. We used plants that can be easily propagated
