Green oases in Berlin's schools: Where nature blooms and thrives!

Green oases in Berlin's schools: Where nature blooms and thrives!

On April 23, 2025, a markstone will be set in the southwest palace: a farewell and a thank you. The region takes this event as an opportunity to honor the valuable work of the Evangelical School Foundation. This foundation has done valuable educational work in various locations in recent years.

The foundation runs five schools in Berlin, which are outstanding in its diversity and the specific requirements for care and maintenance. The Evangelical schools in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Steglitz, Lichtenberg, Frohnau and Neukölln form the backbone of the foundation.

Tree care is another central aspect of care work that the Evangelical School Foundation has been taking over for all of these schools since January 2006. This many years of experience has proven to be particularly valuable to meet the specific needs of every school.

appreciation of commitment and commitment

The upcoming farewell not only perceives the municipality as a goodbye, but also as an expression of thanks for the continuous hard work that has been invested since 2006. Rheinpfalz reports that benefit to school every day.

Long-term care and maintaining the garden and green areas are a central part of school philosophy, and the foundation understood to integrate these aspects into the everyday life of the students sustainably. The commitment is not only crucial for the beauty of the school premises, but also for the well -being of the students.

In the anticipation of the farewell, many can look back on a past that leaves valuable memories and learning experiences. This ends a chapter, but the positive influence of the schools will continue to exist in the next few years, especially since they will also be used for other pedagogical purposes in the future.
