The school garden design workshop transformed our approach to outdoor education. Jean-Pierre's expertise in agroforestry combined with his understanding of educational needs helped us create a garden that serves as both a learning space and a productive ecosystem. Our students are now actively engaged in maintaining the garden and using it as a living laboratory.
Aminata's medicinal plants workshop was a perfect blend of traditional knowledge and practical application. Her deep respect for indigenous wisdom combined with scientific understanding created a rich learning experience. I left with not only new skills in plant propagation but also a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage of plant medicine.
The rainwater harvesting workshop provided exactly what our community needed - practical, affordable solutions that we could implement immediately. The hands-on approach meant that we not only learned the concepts but actually built a functioning system during the workshop. Six months later, we've replicated the design in three more community gardens.
