Indoor Educational Garden Project
Vireo Education works in collaboration with educational institutions to train the eco-citizens of tomorrow. Vireo’s projects include all the equipment and seeds needed for hydroponic gardening, as well as access to Vireo’s digital platform with instructions related to gardening, ideas for use of the hydroponic garden, teacher resources, and other instructional materials. Vireo’s team is available to support and inspire teachers along the way.
With the Vireo hydroponic garden, educators can develop students’ analytical skills and critical thinking; focus on their wellbeing by practicing mindfulness; promote nutrition with healthful lunches made with the harvested vegetables; and develop students’ entrepreneurial skills by selling the products of their harvest. Teachers can try some of the projects displayed on Vireo’s website or create their own projects that will meet their students’ needs and ambitions.
