Verlia - Planting seeds of knowledge
Anna Lienbacher Miriam Pardeller Monica Ramos Marquez
The aim of the project Verlia is to get the children of Don Bosco to reflect on how to grow their own plants. The project started in the first semester of Unibz, and the main aim was to show the children what options they have and to teach them how easy it can be to grow plants themselves. This knowledge is often lost over the generations, and especially children who grow up in a city flat may have fewer connections to fresh fruit and vegetables. With this project, we want to make plants and seeds accessible to everyone in the future. In collaboration with the Cooltour youth center and the Polo Ovest“-day care center, we organized three workshops in which we showed children how they can easily start sowing plants at home. The children helped us with the creative development of the Plant and Seed Library. The Plant Library, which is open to the public, can from now on be used for the exchange of plants and seeds.
