Educational vegetable garden for the Lancy nursery

Context and objective

In an urban environment where nature is in short supply, day-care centers struggle to offer toddlers direct contact with living things. And yet, children’s sensory awareness, motor development and natural curiosity depend on observation, touch and the discovery of biodiversity. Urban agriculture, with its specially adapted educational vegetable gardens, brings nature right into the heart of childcare facilities. Accessible from early childhood, it raises awareness of the seasons, vegetables, respect for living things and healthy eating. These mini-gardens create a strong link with the environment, even in the city. It is fully in line with the values of TotUP, which is committed to offering children the excellence of its services in a stimulating, natural and caring environment.
