Activities

Become an "Explorer" for a day and join this walk to discover the plants and animals living in this territory.

Conceived and created for the users of the Santo Condestável Day Centre, in Lisbon, this project has the partnership of Santa Casa da Misericórdia, Lisbon's Tourism School, Caravana AgroEcológica and Germinar a Banco de Sementes. 

On a journey through the plant - root, leaf, fruit and seed - you will learn the importance of preserving and multiplying seeds. An exhibition that ends in the school vegetable garden to see the varieties that germinated there.     

 

The origin of handicrafts dates back thousands of years since man learned to handle natural elements, such as polishing stones, making natural paints or carving wood.

 

Since prehistoric times, man has used natural elements to produce pigments. These can be made from living and non-living elements such as earth, minerals, plant parts, insects, etc.

 

Most plants we eat are grown for food and are the basis of agricultural activity. However, many of them are consumed after transformation.

 

From now on, and while the coronavirus is out there, activities will be sent to you by email. So don't be concerned about the vegetable garden; you will follow its growth through photographs.

 

This Saturday, we received more than 40 teachers who wanted to visit our project as part of the XXVI Pedagogical Days of Environmental Education organised by Aspea.

 

Human action and climate change are leading to habitats and ecosystem destruction. It is up to each of us to think of ways to protect it.

 

To have a sustainable garden, you must plan what you will plant. Certain plants are more productive if they are together with others.

 

Before sowing and planting, you must consider all the surrounding aspects - sun, wind, topography, water, and soil. We learned it in this class.

 

As in a forest where everything grows spontaneously, we must find a balance between the various species so that everything develops healthily and in harmony.
