School Garden

Our School Garden project focuses on the use of modern educational practices, integrating multiple disciplines into a sustainable experience. At its core lies an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary method designed not only to educate, but also to inspire our students towards healthy lifestyle habits, encouraging the development of an ecological awareness.

Why a school garden?

Because it provides tangible experiences that go beyond textbooks. Through hands-on activities in our garden, students interact with their surroundings while cultivating essential work habits such as responsibility, patience, and teamwork.

Our approach leverages experiential learning along with cooperative teaching methods. This means that every seed planted is not only potential for new life, but also for new knowledge. Students learn by doing; They grow alongside their plants while absorbing valuable lessons in various subjects, from natural sciences to ethics.

Key Objectives

The 'Ecotilde' School Garden project is presented as an educational initiative that integrates sustainability and respect for the environment into the daily learning of students. Through six fundamental objectives, 'Ecotilde' seeks to:

  1. To introduce agricultural techniques that are sustainable and respectful of the environment, providing students with the necessary tools to cultivate a greener future.
  2. Promote health by promoting healthy eating habits based on organic and natural products grown in the school garden.
  3. Promote competency-based learning, developing practical skills and competencies that students can apply in various contexts, beyond the classroom.
  4. To preserve rural traditions and culture, valuing and transmitting the richness of our cultural heritage through agricultural practice.
  5. Work through multidisciplinary Learning Situations, where students can address complex problems from different areas of knowledge, thus promoting comprehensive learning.
  6. To build an ecological awareness, reinforcing the affective ties of students with the natural environment and promoting an active commitment to the protection of the environment.

Main Axes

  1. Our project focuses on three main axes:
    1. Design & Maintenance: We believe that a school garden should be more than just a green space; It must be a miniature ecosystem. For this reason, our students participate in the design and maintenance of the garden, learning about biodiversity, resource conservation and organic farming techniques.
    2. Garden Curricular Integration: The garden becomes an outdoor classroom where lessons in science, math, history, and more come to life. Through curricular integration, our students explore academic concepts in a practical and relevant context.
    3. Information and Communication: Effective communication is key to the success of our project. We share our achievements and learnings not only within our school community, but also with the world, thus fostering a network of knowledge and collaboration.

Interdisciplinarity and Integral Development

The school garden is a melting pot where various disciplines merge, allowing students to explore multidisciplinarity and multiple intelligences. Here, science meets creativity, and respect for nature meets social responsibility. It's a place where self-improvement and social competence are grown at the same time as plants.
In addition to being a natural laboratory for scientific experimentation, the school garden is fertile ground for emotional development. Students learn to work as a team, to take care of the environment and to value the fruit of their own efforts. Autonomy and empathy germinate in this green space, providing valuable lessons for life, as well as sustainability, developing in them a natural or ecological awareness.
