Year 5 visit to the Palmengarten Frankfurt – a tropical voyage of discovery with Tropica Verde<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

by <\/em>Laura Jutrowska<\/em><\/p>\r\n

On Wednesday and Thursday, May 7 and 8, 2025, our Year 5 class went on an exciting excursion<\/strong> to the Palmengarten Frankfurt. This special experience<\/strong> – the rainforest rally<\/strong> – was organized and financed<\/strong> by the Tropica Verde association from Frankfurt. The non-profit organization has been committed to protecting tropical rainforests for over 30 years and is also heavily involved in environmental education in schools. <\/p>\r\n

Discover fascinating plant worlds<\/h2>\r\n

An exciting journey through different climate zones and plant worlds awaited the pupils in the palm garden. In small groups, they explored the flower and butterfly house<\/strong>, where they were able to observe colorful tropical butterflies. <\/p>\r\n

<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”28px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Particularly impressive was the Tropicarium<\/strong> – a collection of 14 interconnected show houses – which depicts various tropical habitats, including rainforests, mangroves and dry forests. Here the children encountered unusual plants such as the cocoa tree<\/strong>, lianas<\/strong>, orchids<\/strong> and the baobab tree<\/strong>. <\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Learning with all the senses: The Tropicarium rally<\/h2>\r\n

A highlight of the excursion was the rally through the Tropicarium<\/strong>. The children learned through play and with great curiosity how the rainforest is structured, which plant species grow there and what significance they have for the global climate (-> Education for sustainable development)<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n

By actively participating, the pupils were not only able to deepen their knowledge, but also develop it independently. The direct contact with the plant world promoted vivid, sustainable learning – far beyond the classroom<\/strong>. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”247973,247970,247967,247961″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” auto=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

A lasting memory to take away<\/h2>\r\n

The small gift that each child received at the end was also particularly sustainable: a goodie bag with fair trade chocolate and plant seeds<\/strong>. The seeds will now be planted together in class, the growth process documented and entered into a wildflower competition<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Many thanks to<\/strong> Tropica Verde<\/strong>, whose commitment made this unforgettable excursion possible.<\/p>\r\n

Am Freitag 16.06.2023 wurde in Monte Alto gemeinsam mit unserer Partnerorganisation Ecodesi der Tag des Baumes gefeiert! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Zu diesem j\u00e4hrlichen Anlass kommen Schulklassen, Freiwillige und andere engagierte Menschen zusammen und pflanzen B\u00e4ume auf der Reserva. Ganz nebenbei erlernen und erleben sie so die Bedeutung des Urwaldes und der Artenvielfalt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wir freuen uns Teil dieser Aktion zu sein & somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Umweltbildung beizutragen!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
