One aim of our project is to plant gardens. By planting gardens we will teach our students the plant growth cycle from sowing to harvesting, so they can understand how to produce vegetables, what is its relationship with the local environment and its importance to health.
The different climates of various countries will show us that the growth cycle of plants is different and that the species produced in each country are also different.

Nothing better than the spring flowers to give color and beauty to our gardens. Let's do it. Prepare a beautiful bed with a suitable soil and divide it with little stones... The result will be a beautiful carpet of flowers.
