Edible Garden In Kindergarten, Istanbul

The project is located in the hearth of Istanbul. The city has lack of green spaces. People spend their time only in the apartment blocks made by concrete and steel. It has been observed that learning processes increase in places where children are in contact with nature, pedagogically and architecturally. Children explore and learn outdoors, this is why the design of schools and classrooms are so important. Such as the location of the windows, the colours of the space, the material used.

 

We designed the garden of kindergarten which was unused place. We designed the edible garden with the children and gave them their first responsibility, thanks to the seasonal seedlings they plant with their own hands. We took the promise that they will take care of their gardens after us. We delivered the edible garden with 110 winter vegetable seedlings, which we designed and implemented, to the Ortaköy Zübeyde Hanım kindergarten.
