The Learning Garden is an innovative mass timber elementary school blending sustainable architecture with agricultural education. Wooden beams and cross-laminated timber panels create a warm, inviting environment, creating a connection to nature. Classrooms have expansive windows, maximizing natural light and offering courtyard views. Students actively participate in learning hands-on about sustainable farming practices. The school’s curriculum intertwines traditional subjects with agricultural studies, instilling an appreciation for the environment. The use of renewable materials not only promotes eco-consciousness but also provides a tangible example of sustainability in action. This harmonious integration of education and agriculture establishes a foundation for future generations to foster a relationship with the planet.
