A visit to An Gáirdín provides your class with a wonderful introduction to the magical world of nature. Children discover how native hedgerows are the busy highways of Ireland’s countryside. They learn about energy cycles through the hands-on preparation of organic soup. The ‘Wonder Trail’ provides them with the opportunity to encounter woodland, a pond, wildlife areas, composting and organic growing, as well as rainwater harvesting and renewable energy technologies. An Gáirdín is an accredited Discover Primary Science Centre.
