SOWING WITH LIFE

Sowing with Life

The activity consists of creating seedbeds of native species in recycled pots, promoting the importance of native trees for decarbonization.
Students will be responsible for their seed until it grows into a tree and is strong enough to be planted in open ground.

Benefits:

• For students: Children and young people will become true gardeners, learning about the life cycle of plants, the importance of native trees and their role in preserving the environment.
• For teachers: Practical and educational activity that connects students with nature and addresses topics such as ecology, botany and sustainability.
• For school: A way to encourage environmental awareness and care for nature in students. The ‘Sowing with Life’ activity is a powerful pedagogical tool to transform future citizens into more conscious citizens.

Why is Sowing with Life important?

• Awareness: Students will understand the importance of trees for the planet and the need to plant even more trees.
• Action: Hands-on activities will inspire students to care for nature and plant trees in their home area and neighboring communities.
• Knowledge: Students will learn about the life cycle of plants, the importance of biodiversity and the relationship between humans and nature.

Trees are essential for life on the planet. They produce oxygen, regulate the climate and shelter several species. By planting a tree, we are contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. Imagine a world where each of us plants a tree. A greener, healthier, happier world. With this activity, we can make a difference! Our activity is adapted to the age group of the students and can be personalized according to the native species of the region. We provide all the materials needed for the activity.
This activity can take place in the months of January, February, October, November and December.

Count on us to offer an unforgettable experience!

1 – What is the Sowing with Life workshop and what is its purpose?

It is a hands-on workshop where students learn about the life cycle of plants, from seed to growth. The purpose is to reconnect children and young people with the earth, teaching them the importance of sowing and how to care for a plant, promoting autonomy and respect for nature's rhythms.

2 – What are the benefits of teaching students how to sow and cultivate?

This activity develops patience, responsibility, and biological literacy. By getting their hands dirty (or in the soil), students understand the origin of food, the importance of soil quality, and the fundamental role of plants in oxygen renewal and ecosystem balance.

3 – How does Living Place facilitate this educational activity?

The activity is adapted to the age of the participants and includes preparing the substrate, choosing the seeds (often native or horticultural species), and the actual planting. Each student has the opportunity to take their seedlings home or to the school garden, witnessing the birth of a new life.
