*The school garden still looks like an ordinary green space – but not for long. The sixth-grade students have big plans: with creative ideas, thoughtful planning, and a lot of energy, our school garden is coming to life bit by bit.*

Together, it was discussed which plants should thrive here in the future. The selection ranges from crunchy carrots and juicy strawberries to a colorful flowering meadow that will attract bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. The goal is a garden that invites not only gardening but also observing, researching, and enjoying.

The first beds are already in planning, the seed lists written – now it’s time to roll up our sleeves, prepare the soil, soon there will be sowing, watering, weeding, and later also harvesting.

A special highlight: In cooperation with the project “More than honey,” an insect hotel, a bumblebee house, and nesting opportunities for wild bees are currently being created – a valuable contribution to the protection of biodiversity and the promotion of ecological awareness in everyday school life.

The school garden will become a place of learning in the coming weeks, making nature tangible – with many opportunities to touch, participate, and marvel. A big thank you to all the hardworking little and big helpers.
