Soil Garden

Description

A new garden on the topic of soil ecology is to be created on the Grüental campus in order to promote fascination and appreciation for the natural resource soil. The garden is designed as a mysterious place that arouses curiosity and lets visitors literally immerse themselves in the ground. In it the various functions of the soil can be experienced and the soil as an important resource can be experienced sensually. Anyone who embarks on a quest for knowledge leaves the soil garden with a new image of the valuable treasure that lies beneath our feet and with ideas on how to contribute to the sustainable use of soil.
