Below is the news feed for educational gardens in France:
Winner of the Parisculteurs in 2017, Dessine l’Espoir was tasked with greening the roof of the Bercy school kindergarten in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, to set up an educational garden for children. In 2021, La Traversine extended its work to the neighbouring site of the Villiot Rapée residence, providing an open-ground garden for local children. In 2022, the association launched weekly vegetable gardening activities in the oasis courtyards of nursery and primary schools, in partnership with extra-curricular activity leaders who complement the initiatives undertaken on the school’s entire terrace.
The “Grand Potager” project was developed by The Ivory Foundation on the Fontenille estate in Lauris in the Luberon. This 4,000m2 garden, laid out on an organic wine-growing estate, is home to a bioclimatic greenhouse built by the local APTE association. Educational visits to the kitchen garden have been organised for children from Lauris school.
