a traveling garden to educate children about nature

In Burgundy, landscapers promote the benefits of plants, with their traveling gardens, made up of trees and aromatic plants. The landscapers set up their mobile garden in the courtyard of a primary school. This plant laboratory is suitable for children. The artificialization of soils and its ravages are reproduced in a glass tube. Children understand this ecology lesson. Each child leaves with a miniature garden. The day ends with the planting of a tree in the playground.

Rent a vegetable garden plot

To introduce children to nature, it is also possible to install a nest box for solitary bees. In the city, nature observation can be lacking. “There are allotment gardens, but there are a lot of requests and a lot of waiting”, explains Valérie Heurtel, present on the set of 13 Heures, Thursday April 25. Thus, in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), a market gardener offers, for 40 euros per month, to rent a plot of vegetable garden, and he takes care of everything.
