Sacreh Heart Senior School Botanical Garden
Description : We are excited to share our initiative to transform a section of the school garden into a vibrant botanical garden and outdoor classroom. This project aims to regenerate the existing space into an enriching educational experience for science subjects and beyond. With many mature trees already present—including carob, oak, olive, and pine—this new development will enhance learning while also providing a peaceful recreational area for students and staff.
Through research conducted with students, we identified key areas they would love to see in their garden. As a result, the space will feature a cactus garden, herb garden, flowering plants, and a tropical plant section. To enhance learning, all plants—both existing and newly planted—will be labeled with their common and scientific names, and informational boards will be created to educate students on different plant groups such as mosses and ferns, benefiting biology studies on plant evolution.
Beyond academics, this garden will serve as an inclusive sensory and relaxation space, designed to provide calming effects through scents, textures, and natural beauty. A designated area under the trees will serve as an outdoor classroom and a peaceful reading space. To ensure sustainability, we will utilize the recently discovered water reservoir and install an irrigation system to maintain the garden year-round.
Additionally, we plan to engage the wider community by organizing seminars on sustainable gardening and plant care, fostering a deeper appreciation and responsibility for nature. This project is not only an investment in education but also in well-being, sustainability, and environmental awareness. We look forward to your support in making this vision a reality.
The area covered will be around 1150 m squared

Description : The school kitchen garden is a dedicated green space where students grow fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and edible plants. It provides hands-on learning experiences, teaching children about sustainability, healthy eating, and the environment. Through gardening, students develop practical skills, responsibility, and teamwork while gaining a deeper appreciation for nature and food production. The produce is being used in cooking lessons and shared within the community, making the garden a valuable educational and environmental resource.
