This winter planting activity was organised by the teaching staff, with full involvement from the students. The goal was to make the school grounds more colourful during the colder months while also supporting local wildlife. Students worked together to plant seasonal flowers and hardy greenery in the planters around the Primary building. The chosen plants were selected for their ability to survive the cold and add beauty and structure to the outdoor space during the grey winter season.

Winter Planting in the School Grounds (Primary)
- Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: For anyone planning a similar event, we recommend choosing low-maintenance, cold-hardy plants, and involving students in every step—from learning about the plants to digging in the soil. Keep it simple, make it hands-on, and connect the activity to broader topics like biodiversity and urban nature. Most importantly, take time to reflect afterwards so students can see the value of their contribution and understand how small actions can brighten and support the environment all year round.
- Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
- Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: We are proud of how enthusiastic and engaged the students were throughout the project. They showed care and teamwork while planting, and they were eager to learn about which plants grow well in winter and why green spaces are important—even in cities. Their efforts made a real difference, and the results could be seen and enjoyed by the whole school community.
