Building our School Garden
Here we have collected some important steps while building and creating our school garden. Read about our pond, the raised beds and other important parts of our garden.
Building the Pond
For the school garden the pond is very important since the plants need water. There are no water pipes which could guarentee the water supply.
The German texts were written by
Tabea Bartosch, Ann-Sophie Kutschera and Tamara Möller.
[DE] Als erstes haben wir die Erde aus dem Teich gehoben. Außerdem haben wir das Unkraut am Rande des Teiches entfernt.

[DE] Ein paar Schüler kümmern sich darum, dass der Teich tiefer gelegt wird. Zusätzlich wurden Stein-platten vor den Teich gelegt, damit die Teichfolie ihre Stabilität
bekommt.

[DE] Zur Befestigung der Teichfolie haben wir Kies an den Rändern ausgelegt. Es werden Wasser-pflanzen in den Teich gesetzt.

Building the Raised Bed
A raised bed is a great way to create a secured space for your crops.

Other important aspects of our garden
A raised bed is a great way to create a secured space for your crops.
Grill Station
Nothing connects people more than eating together. During summer time having a barbecue is the best way to get into contact and feel cozy (even in school).
Sustainability
In winter time we decided to use an old washing machine drum as a grill to make campfire bread.
The bees are our best friends
So we should do something for them. But not only the bees need our help - other insects are in need to. So we provided spaces for them to nest and dwell.
Wild herbs
There are way to few herbs for the bees and other insects - so every garden should provide insect friendly herbs and refrain from using toxic chemicals for weeding.
Other patches
You don't need a raised bed for every plant. We created various patches to provide a range of crops.
