A green classroom in Thannhausen
The aim is to offer children, young people and those who are young at heart a “barrier-free green classroom” with areas for learning, regenerating and training in our training course.
The "Green Classroom" can not only be used for research, but science or art lessons can also take place in the middle of the different growing seasons, thus creating a special learning environment.
The diverse teaching options are to be seen as a supplement, but also as an inspiration to the traditional school curriculum.
AForest Gardenconsists of mainly edible plants that partially overlap in several vegetation layers. Very similar to the structure of forests. These layers consist of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes as well as vegetables and herbs that can be grown and harvested together over the long term. It promotes biodiversity in the garden by creating different habitats for a wide variety of animal and plant species. The diversity ensures that a wide variety of fruit and vegetables can be harvested at any time - there is always something ripening!
In addition to its culinary and healing properties, the forest garden offers beautiful shady spots where you can meet to experience, work or relax... A place of relaxing, mindful and respectful encounters between people, animals and nature.
A forest garden is simultaneously a source of healthy food, a provider of building materials and a pharmacy.
A multi-talent
So diverse and useful: the social component is combined with biodiversity conservation, food and habitat for insects and soil organisms, carbon reduction and water protection through humus buildup. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced through regional production of fruit, vegetables, herbs and nuts.

Status Quo
These days, visitors are surprised when they enter the Planet Bambi site from the main entrance. At first glance, it has become more open. Some things are being redesigned. As preparatory work, the former fences of the deer families have been removed. As a compensatory measure, the area needs to be reforested: chestnut trees, walnut trees, fruit trees, shrubs, ground cover...
The planning
The forest garden is based on nature. It consists of 7 edible layers, essentially three: the tree layer, the shrub layer and the herb layer. The different heights of the vegetation layers create good light conditions for all plants. The aim of a forest garden is to recreate a natural forest that regulates itself over time and thus brings a lot of joy and relatively little work.
Want to join in? We're looking forward to it!
