The climate garden in schools

Reserve now the exhibition for your school for the year 2023!

As a response to the worldwide climate protests of many students, the Plant Science Center has developed a version of the experiment for schools. The Climate Garden 2085 will be integrated into lessons for 3 months. Many students can experience climate change up close and work and research in the garden of the future.

We would like to thank the Swiss Federal Office of the Environment for their support.

“The climate garden is an impressive and important project. It is impressive because the plants grow really differently. Observing this, measuring the plants, allows the pupils to build a very different relationship to climate change. The project is important because plant growth shows how many parameters are being confused by climate change. It becomes clear that the consequences of climate change are difficult to predict and therefore become so threatening,” says Manuel Voellmy, biology teacher at Ev. Schiers Middle School.
