We are now looking for committed people to sponsor the project.
The construction was the project work of students from the vocational school for social pedagogy 23.1 under the direction of Marius Obermeyer. The idea for the project originated in the city library. "When we started with the seed library and the topic of sustainability as our theme for the year, there were lots of suggestions as to how we could make both visible and tangible for readers," says the head of the city library, looking back. "Cooperation with a creative partner seemed like a good solution. The choice fell on creating a raised bed and the BBS decided in favor of the collaboration," Sylvia Fiedler recalls.
Some time passed before the project was actually implemented, but the feedback was all the more surprising. The fact that it came from a class of prospective social education workers was just as surprising as the announcement that the raised bed was finished.
So the city library, together with BBS principal Anja Wolfgram-Funke and the FSP 23.1 class, were delighted when the raised bed was installed this summer. The Fredenberg library team immediately planted the wooden structure. The decorative figures were quickly joined by some flowers and useful plants.
In addition to the "green classroom", insect hotel and flowering meadow planting, the raised bed turns the indoor area between the two BBS towers into a small island of sustainability.
The city library sees this as a great contribution as an extracurricular cultural and educational facility, to impart knowledge in a vivid way and to have created a learning space for young and old. Visitors are delighted as they pass by and get their own ideas for sustainability in a vivid way.
"We are now looking for committed people to plant and cultivate the raised bed," says Vasiliki Treskas, team leader of the Fredenberg City Library, and would like a group of kindergarten children or an institution to take over sponsorship of the raised bed from next spring.
