Sensory garden in the school area

Abstract

School gardens play a huge role in learning about nature by children and young people. Lessons conducted in the open air surrounded by greenery develop the natural interests of students who can observe individual stages of plant development and change of seasons. In school gardens, classes in biological and chemical subjects, art, music, Polish and English can be conducted. The study presents a study of a selected case – a concept of land development at the Primary School in Stasin (Lubelskie Voivodeship) changing the current school environment into a sensory garden. The new project will meet the diverse needs of children, allow them to develop properly mental and physical, and allow teachers to conduct creative classes. The project created zones of the senses, dividing them into the zone of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. In addition, a representative zone in front of the building, an educational, sport and recreation zone were distinguished. Consistency of the whole assumption is provided by attractive plantings and unified small architecture.
