Kita Rommersdorf begins the gardening season
The Rommersdorf municipal kindergarten has begun its gardening season with enthusiasm, revitalizing the pick-your-own garden built in 2019 as part of the "Kita eats better" coaching project, funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate state. Kindergarten staff, parents, and children have spent time weeding, pruning, and preparing the beds for a new season of growth.
Since its establishment, the pick-your-own garden has become a permanent feature in the kindergarten’s outdoor space, offering children a hands-on learning experience about the growth and care of vegetables. With the garden ready for the new season, the children will continue to have the opportunity to harvest produce and participate in its cultivation.
The pick-your-own garden provides an interactive environment for learning, combining nature exploration with healthy eating education. By growing and harvesting their own fruits and vegetables, the children learn firsthand about the flavors and aromas of natural foods. The self-harvested produce finds its way into the children’s meals and is also used in special activities with parents to create nutritious dishes.
In addition to the benefits of a pick-your-own garden, similar initiatives offer educational value, promote community building, provide fresh produce at lower costs, and encourage environmental awareness. These gardens may host seasonal festivals, workshops, and children’s activities, making them engaging and enjoyable for all visitors. While specific details about the Rommersdorf pick-your-own garden are not available, the general concept undoubtedly provides a unique and valuable educational experience for the children.
Other initiatives like Rommersdorf's pick-your-own garden, such as home-and-garden projects and gardening, offer a combination of lifestyle experiences and education. The kids not only have an engaging outdoor space for learning but also a hands-on opportunity to contribute to the home-and-garden lifestyle by growing and harvesting their own produce.
