🌷 Project ‘Five-Star Hotel for Insects’
Submitted by: Agnieszka Kędzior
School: Rehabilitation, Education, and Care Center in Mielec
Participants: pupils, age 15–16
Author’s description of the project:
A green corner with a variety of shrubs located near the Rehabilitation, Education and Care Centre in Mielec was cleaned up and decorated by our students, Radek and Kuba, with the support of their therapists.
🧑🌾 What work did we carry out as part of the project?
- We raked up leaves and branches, removed old, discarded flower pots, and dug over the soil.
- During the workshops, the boys, with the help of their therapists, built a wooden insect hotel and filled it with natural materials. To complete this project, we used a variety of natural resources, including moss, nutshells, acorns, different types of pine cones, wood chips from various tree species, birch branches, and wood shavings.
There was a lot of work to do, and the results are evident in the photos below!
👉 Be sure to take a look at the photos from the project implementation.
